Reply to: Dominic, history of the name? by Andy
My name dictionary says the name appears commonly in Christian inscriptions from the Roman Empire (not sure of first dates).
Also that it was often used after St. Dominic after the 13th c., mainly by Roman Catholics until it came into wide use in English speaking countries in the 1950s.
