    Dominic

    Pronounced DOM-ih-nik

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Dominic does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Belonging to the Lord", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Dominic.
    Meaning
    "Belonging to the Lord"
    Origin
    Latin

    Dominic derives from the Latin 'dominus,' meaning 'lord.' Saint Dominic founded the Dominican order, emphasizing preaching and education. The name declares ultimate belonging — we are the Lord's, purchased by His blood, and nothing can separate us from His love.

    Spiritual meaning

    Dominic declares total belonging to God — in life and death, we are His.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
