Domnika is Latin in Origin.
Domnika is a Slavic and Eastern Christian feminine name deriving from Latin Dominicus "of the Lord," filtered through Greek Domnike. The sense is "belonging to the Lord" and, by extension, has a traditional link to Sunday (Latin dies dominica). It entered the Orthodox onomasticon via Byzantine usage; Saint Domnika (Domnica) of Constantinople (5th century) anchored its liturgical presence, giving the name a feast on 8 January in many Orthodox calendars.
Usage appears in medieval Rus' records and survived in Russian Church Slavonic forms such as Domnikiya, though it became rare in the 20th century and is now an uncommon, heritage-leaning choice. Variants and cognates include Dominika (Polish, Czech, Slovak), Dominica/Domenica (Latin/Italian), Domnica (Romanian), Domna and Domnina (related Slavic/Greek forms), and Greek Domnike. Diminutives include Nika and Doma. Masculine counterparts: Dominic, Dominik, Domenico, Domingos.
