Origin and meaning
of the Lord, born on Sunday (Spanish, from Latin)
Domingo entered Philippine onomastics during the Spanish colonial era as a baptismal Christian name. It became one of the most widespread masculine names and surnames across the archipelago due to devotion to Saint Dominic and the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). In contemporary times, it is predominantly viewed as a traditional, grandfatherly, or classic name.
Domingo is derived from the Late Latin name Dominicus, meaning 'of the Lord' or 'belonging to God', traditionally given to children born on Sunday (Dies Dominica). It was widely disseminated in the Catholic world in honor of Saint Dominic de Guzmán.
