The name Dominic comes from the Late Latin name Dominicus, meaning "of the Lord," and was traditionally given to children born on Sunday. It has appeared inside the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names every year since 1900 and was a top-100 boy's name every year between 2002 and 2021, though some parents prefer the spelling Dominick. It's the name "Saved By the Bell" actor Mario Lopez gave his son Dominic Luciano, born in 2013, and the name "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi gave her son, Lorenzo Dominic, born in 2020.
