Etymology

Dominick for the chicken probably comes from the old name Dominique or Dominick, which comes from Latin Dominicus meaning 'of the Lord'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the bird as being named like a person, so the name stuck to this American breed and we still call it Dominick.
