The story
Dominick is Dominic with an extra letter and its own long American paper trail. The root is the Late Latin Dominicus, of the Lord, a name traditionally given to a child born on Sunday. The K-spelling has been in the record every decade since the 1890s, and its early curve is steep: 166 boys that first decade, 3,915 in the 1910s, 5,289 in the 1920s. It then held a steady middle for half the century, roughly three thousand a decade, before a second climb to 8,985 in the 1990s and 15,277 in the 2000s, with 3,371 so far this decade. Not many names produce two separate rises eighty years apart. A Sunday name that learned to work weekdays, and the record shows it never really left the building.
