What does Domino mean?
/ˈdɑməˌnoʊ/3 syllables

Domino refers to the small rectangular tile marked with dots used in the game of the same name; the word likely comes from the black hooded cape called a domino once worn at masquerades, itself from the Latin dominus, meaning 'lord.' It's also come to describe a bold black-and-white spotted pattern.

Domino is a striking, playful name, tailor-made for a pet with bold black-and-white markings.
