Origin
Meaning and origin of Indomenico
The surname INDOMENICO originated in Italy, with its earliest recorded instances dating back to the medieval period. It is derived from the Latin phrase "in Dominica," which translates to "on the Lord's day" or "on Sunday." This phrase was commonly used to distinguish individuals born or baptized on Sundays, a practice that was widespread in many European regions during the Middle Ages.
INDOMENICO is a variation of the more common Italian surname DOMENICO, which itself is derived from the Latin name "Dominicus," meaning "belonging to the Lord." This Latin name was initially used as a personal name before evolving into a surname over time.
One of the earliest documented references to the surname INDOMENICO can be found in the archives of the city of Palermo, Sicily, where a certain Nicolo INDOMENICO was recorded as a landowner in the 13th century.
In the 14th century, a nobleman named Giovanni INDOMENICO was mentioned in the historical records of the city of Naples. He was a respected figure in the local community and held various positions of authority during his lifetime.
During the Renaissance period, the name INDOMENICO gained prominence in the arts and literature. One notable figure was Antonio INDOMENICO, a Florentine painter who lived from 1458 to 1524. His works can still be admired in various churches and museums throughout Italy.
In the 18th century, a renowned Italian architect named Giacomo INDOMENICO left his mark on the city of Rome. He was responsible for the design and construction of several notable buildings, including the Church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini.
Another individual of note was the Italian philosopher and writer Giuseppe INDOMENICO, who lived from 1772 to 1846. He was a prominent figure in the Enlightenment movement and authored several influential works on ethics and political theory.
Throughout the centuries, the surname INDOMENICO has been associated with various localities and regions within Italy, including Sicily, Campania, Tuscany, and Lazio. While the name has undergone slight variations in spelling, such as INDOMENICHO or INDOMENI, its core meaning and origin have remained consistent.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Indomenico surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
