About Dominica
Fashionably Continental and much fresher than Dominique, though it's been used since the Middle Ages. Dominica can be spelled any number of ways, from Dominika to Domenica, but we prefer this version.
Dominica is also a Caribbean Island, making this a place name as well as a classic girl name.
Hipper cousin Domino was a Bond Girl, a character played by Keira Knightley, and the name chosen for her daughter by British designer India Hicks. Dominy is an interesting unisex spin.
Pronounced doh-MIN-i-kuh.
As of October 2026, Dominica ranked #13659 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1252 in 1916.
