Meaning & origin
Domini is a rare feminine name first recorded in the United States in 1958. It reached its peak usage in 1982, but has never entered widespread popularity. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1980s, maintaining a low but consistent presence. The name is essentially an English feminine form of Dominic, drawing on the Latin 'Domini' meaning 'of the Lord'. Unlike the more common Dominique, Domini remains an uncommon choice, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive yet traditional-sounding name with religious undertones. No top states recorded for this name reflect its rarity, but it may appeal to families with Christian heritage or those drawn to liturgical terms.
Domini is the feminine form of Dominic, derived from Latin 'Dominicus' meaning 'of the Lord'. It emerged as a given name in English-speaking countries in the mid-20th century, perhaps influenced by the liturgical phrase 'Domini' (of the Lord) or as a variant of Dominique. It has remained rare but steady in use.
