Dominika is the Slavic and Eastern European feminine form of Dominic, which ultimately derives from the Latin *Dominicus*, meaning "of the Lord" or "belonging to the Lord," a name given to children born on a Sunday in honour of the Sabbath, the Lord's day. Notable bearers include the Polish former First Lady and lawyer Dominika Kulczyk, and the Slovak-born, English actress Dominika Pieczyńska, known for her stage and screen work. The name has a powerful connection to places via the island nation of Dominica in the Caribbean, whose name also stems from *Dies Dominica* (the Lord's Day). A further note: Dominika, along with its variant Dominique, has gained a sophisticated, international feel across Europe, particularly in Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, where it remains a consistently popular and elegant choice.
