[Facts] Re: The 20 most popular names in Greece
Interesting! Especially interesting that some of these names are so common in Greece, and I haven't even heard of them before (in the US) - Basilikike, Desponia, Paraskevi, Charalampos, etc.Question - why are Kyriake and Dominique considered the same?

Kyriaki means "Sunday", as does Dominique.

Kyriake is Greek and Dominique is (originally) Latin, but their meaning is the same. In the same way, in English, one could give a daughter the more popular name of Grace and still commemorate her Great-Aunt Anne.
