A French female name of Latin origin, meaning "of the Lord" or "of God." Often, it is mistaken for a male name and quite often when you [introduce] yourself as Dominique, you'll be asked "but isn't that a boy's name?" In France and other parts of Europe where Romantic languages are spoken, it is pronounced "Doh-mee-neek," with the 'doh' being pronounced like the Spanish 'o' in 'ofrecer' or 'ofender', etc. Not like the [Americanized] "daw-muh-neek", which makes me cringe a bit whenever I hear it. So don't say it that way. If you can't pronounce the 'o' like the French/Spanish/Italians do, then 'Dou-mih-neek" is close enough. There also exist the variants "Dominik," "Domanique," "Domaneek," "Dominic," "Dominica," "Domenek," "Domanec," and a whole bunch of other [misspellings].
