Boy name · 264 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Dominik: 264 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 27 births in 2014.

Dominik is a form of the Latin name Dominicus, meaning "of the Lord" or "belonging to the Lord," and is the Slavic and Germanic spelling of Dominic. Saint Dominic, the 13th-century founder of the Dominican Order, is the most prominent historical bearer; his name helped popularize the name across Catholic Europe. The name also connects to the Dominican Republic, though that country takes its name from the order, not a person. In modern times, Dominik Hasek, the legendary Czech ice hockey goaltender, brought sporting renown to the spelling. While less common in Scotland than the English Dominic, Dominik has a distinct, slightly more cosmopolitan feel, often chosen by families with Central or Eastern European heritage, particularly Polish or Slovak roots.
