In fact "domingo" in spanish means "Sunday" and Dimanche and Domenica are respectively the french and italian word for Sunday.
In Italian Domenica is also the feminin variant of Domenico.

The original meaning of Dominikus as a Christian name in the very sense was "dedicated to the Lord (Jesus Christ"); later it was also used for children born on a Sunday, the "day of the Lord" (cf. Rev 10,1). By the way Columbus discovered the isle of Domenica on a Sunday.
