Dominick: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2003.
Dominick is the Latinate form of Dominic, rooted in the Latin *Dominicus* meaning “of the Lord” or “belonging to the Lord,” traditionally given to boys born on a Sunday. The most famous bearer is Saint Dominic, the 13th‑century Castilian founder of the Dominican Order, whose name indirectly gave the Dominican Republic its name. In modern times, the name is shared by American writer and journalist Dominick Dunne and mixed‑martial‑arts champion Dominick Cruz. The variant spelling with a ‘ck’ is less common in Scotland than the standard Dominic, yet remains a familiar choice, particularly among families with Irish or Italian heritage. The name also appears in the Scottish register from the 1970s onward, reflecting broader cultural influences rather than a distinct native tradition.
