Islamic naming guidance

Permissible

Draft: not yet reviewed by a scholar. This is not a fatwa.

Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources

The name means 'belonging to the Lord' and is built on Dominus, the title Christians use for God. It is common among Roman Catholics, and its best-known bearer is Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican order, so it is counted as a name of another religion. No source read rules on the name; a scholar's call.

Confidence: medium
