A wide search in the origins of the family names will give a diverse and wide range of possible emergence points as a result, still being those that are of Spanish origin and that, seemingly, they should have oneself initial payee. Still with a more rigorous study on the origin of a common surname, like in the case of the Domínguez surname, they can be diverse initiators in oneself country, and only when some descendant of the same one had originated another genealogical branch in some foreign country to the other side of the world, is when the query loosens on the true root of this lineage. This is the case of the Domínguez solar that multitude of questions has still generated in spite of the fact that many genealogists assure to know the precise point in that she gave beginning this wide one and worldwide acquaintance surname.

 
 

GENEALOGY

 

According to the great majority of genealogical studies, this it is a patronymic origin surname, that is to say, derived of a name; in this case, of the own name Domingo. The termination "ez" that accompanies him, it is a suffix that means "son of"; therefore, Domínguez would be the form of saying "son of Domingo". To this surname is found very diffused by Spain and America, but like it usually happens with all the patronymic ones, they don't have relationship to each other the different lineages with this same denomination.

It is convenient to consider two aspects: 
1. Originally, Domingo was a name characteristic of which was derived not only the Domínguez surname, but rather he also stayed as a surname (Domingo). 
2. To the being it names own, it is very possible that the diffusion of this surname is due to the fame of Sacred Domingo of Guzmán, founder of the Order of the Dominicos and creator of the Rosario; and to Sacred Domingo of Silos, Spanish Benedictine of the XI Century.

More thoroughly investigating on the meaning of the word Domingo, it can be that proceeds of the Latin voice "dominicus" and of "dominus": the master of the house, the lord in all their meanings; also of the day seventh belonging to the Mr. that should be sanctified for the adoration of God. This term, "Domingo", already appeared in Rome in the year 36 before the Christian Era in a financial context as "rationes dominicae" (the master's bills or proprietor). As the Latinisms they were frequent in administrative or financial matters, appeared in Greek the term, "kyriacos" and their use evangelical of "kemera kyriake", in Latin, "dies dominicus" or simply "dominica": Day of the Mr.. Their root and use, were conserved so much in the romanic languages, ("Kirche", "Kerch", "Church") like in the Slavs ("Cerkov"), for what Domingo also exists in the mentioned languages and reference countries like name and like surname.

According to the first Christian, the Resurrection of the Mr. and most of Jesus' appearances took place the first day of the week, of there the denomination by day of the Mr.. But this was in contradiction with another idea of pagan origin developed at the beginning of the Christian Era: Domingo could also be translated as "Day of the Sun" that the primitive community didn't never accept. Did this Germanic translation last nevertheless, since they did receive it in times previous to the evengalization ("Sontang", "Zondag", "Sunday"). With all these data by hand, does it seem to be deduced that that that received for name Domingo in the old Germania, received it to have been born in the "Day of the Sun". this way, possibly in very old times, when the use of the surnames was being imposed in the old Germania, well it could happen that that to the one who designated him for name Hans and for surname Kirche, in its translation did mean "Hans that was born in a day of sun". is maybe this the origin of the Domínguez surname? With sincerity, anything can make sure in this respect neither, of course, it is given had sat down; it is a supposition that the heraldics defends assuring that "as well as it cannot be said that is not certain, it doesn't prevent him to be true".

To the step of the centuries, the fame of the surname in Spain could owe to Sacred Domingo of Guzmán, Sacred Domingo of the Roadway and Sacred Domingo of Silos, although neither one can give by the way.

      

In the year 1285, during the conquest of Majorca, they appear don Jaime Domingo, rich proprietor settled down in the village of Forest and that swore obedience to the King don Alfonso II of Aragon like Deputy; don Berengario Domingo, Jury of the city and Kingdom of Majorca, in the year 1312, for the banner of citizens, and the father Jaime Domingo, Inquiring of Majorca, Rosellón and Cerdeña, in 1537. With posteriority to these dates, they were numerous the members of the surname that requested recognition of nobility and nobility of blood. This surname was proven in Santiago's Order by Alonso López of Molina and Martínez Domingo, natural of Santa Cruz de Mudela (Ciudad Real), in 1642, and for don Gabriel de la Bordura y Urrujuli de Gabiso y Domingo, natural of Lesaca (Navarrese), in 1698.

 

Before the Inquisition of Logroño, they justified their cleaning of blood don Francisco and don Juan Domingo Manzano de Calvajal, natural of Jaraíz (Badajoz), in 1704, and don Jaime Domingo Maestre of Pont de Armentera, in 1696. By their part, the Saint Occupation of the city of Valencia certified the nobility and cleaning of blood of enough members of the surnames also Domingo and Domínguez, neighbors in the mentioned city and populations of the county of the old Kingdom of Valencia. There were many and very different houses and families of notorious nobility and nobility equally; several of these branches they proved their nobility in Santiago's different Military Orders, Calatrava, Alcántara, Montesa and San Juan de Jerusalen; in the real Chancilleries of Valladolid and Granada and in the Real Company of marine Guards.
