Domnique is of French origin, derived from the Latin 'Dominicus', which means 'of the Lord'. It is an alternate spelling to Dominique, both of which are traditionally more common among females. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly unisex. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to its religious connotations, as Saint Dominic was a prominent figure in the Catholic Church. Despite its historical roots, Domnique has evolved to be seen as a contemporary and unique choice for both boys and girls.
"Domnique saw its popularity peak in 1990 with 18 newborns, but it has since declined, averaging around 7 births per year from 1993 to 1996."
