Dominy is English, Latin in Origin.
Dominy is an English given name and surname deriving from Latin Dominicus, “belonging to the Lord.” Via Norman French Dominique and Middle English usage, the personal name Dominic produced regional surnames in southwest England; Dominy is one such spelling, alongside Dominey and Domoney. The association with St. Dominic (13th‑century founder of the Dominicans) and the tradition of naming Sunday‑born children strengthened its medieval popularity.
Documented in Devon and Somerset parish rolls, Dominy traveled to North America and later resurfaced as a modern, occasionally unisex, first name, also felt as a clipped or playful variant of Dominic/Dominique. International cognates include Dominic/Dominick (English), Dominik (Central/Eastern Europe), Dominique (French), Domenico (Italian), Domingo/Domingos (Spanish/Portuguese), and Lithuanian Dominykas; feminine counterparts include Dominika and Dominique. Short forms and nicknames include Dom, Domi/Domie, Nico, and Nicky. Overall sense: lordly, dedicated to God.
