What is the meaning of the name Domitille ?

The baby name Domitille is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced French IPA: /dɔ.mi.tij/ (daw-mee-TEEL); English approximation: /ˌdoʊməˈtiːl/ (doh-muh-TEEL).

Domitille is Latin in Origin.

Domitille is a French feminine given name stemming from Latin Domitilla, a diminutive of Domitia, the feminine form of the Roman family name Domitius (gens Domitia). The root is Latin domare “to tame, subdue,” seen in domitus “tamed,” yielding a sense of “self-disciplined, mastered.” It gained Christian resonance through Saint Flavia Domitilla, a 1st–2nd‑century Roman noblewoman and martyr linked to the celebrated catacombs of Rome.

In France the name appears in hagiographic calendars and has enjoyed modest, cyclical use, with modern revivals among families drawn to antique, aristocratic-sounding choices. Variants include Domitilla (Italian/Latin), Domitila (Spanish/Portuguese), and the learned Domitia; masculine counterparts are Domitien (French) and Domitian (English/Latin). Familiar diminutives in French and international use include Domi and Tillie/Tille. The name remains rare outside francophone circles, prized for its classical pedigree, soft cadence, and distinctive yet traditional profile.
