The name became enormously popular across Christian Europe through the legend of Saint George, the dragon-slaying patron saint, and in Poland it has been a consistently common masculine name for centuries.

Dominika is the feminine form of Dominik, derived from the Latin Dominicus meaning "belonging to the Lord" or "of the Master."

It entered Slavic culture through the Bulgarian ruler Knyaz Boris I, who Christianized Bulgaria in 864 AD and became the first Bulgarian saint.
