Dominick is an Italian origin given name, derived from the Latin 'Domitianus', which means 'of the household of Domitius'. The name was borne by several early saints, including Saint Dominic, who founded the Dominican Order in the 13th century. In some cultures, Dominick may also be associated with the feast day of Saint Nicholas on December 6th, known as St. Nicholas Day or the Feast of St. Nicholas.
The name Dominick experienced periods of popularity and decline over the years. Between 1976 and 1994, it was quite popular with consistently high numbers of births annually, peaking at 16 births in 1986. However, since then, its usage has significantly decreased, with fewer than 10 births per year occurring every year from 1995 onwards. Despite this decline in popularity, Dominick still sees a steady number of newborns each year, totaling 267 births over the given period.
