Dominique

Unisex French name

Dominique is a French given name used for both men and women, derived from the Latin Dominicus meaning "of the Lord." It gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century, partly due to the 1963 song by the Singing Nun.

The name also designates an American breed of chicken, one of the oldest developed in the United States, recognized by its distinctive barred plumage pattern.
