Domina is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin, meaning 'lady' or 'mistress'. It is derived from the Latin word 'domina', which was used to address women of high social standing in ancient Rome. While it may have been more commonly used as a title in the past, today Domina stands as a strong and elegant given name for girls. Its usage has seen an increase in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries, where parents seek distinctive names with meaningful origins. Despite its Latin roots, Domina is often associated with British culture, likely due to its use in the works of popular authors such as J.K. Rowling ('Domina Laxley' appears in her Harry Potter series) and Diana Gabaldon ('Dominia' is a character in her Outlander series). This exposure has contributed to its growing popularity among English-speaking parents looking for names that are both distinctive and steeped in history.
"Domina had 12 babies born between 1965 and 1982."
