Meaning & background
World ruler in common glosses of Domhnall family forms. Old school and solid. Stateside, it first appears in 1909. Its strongest year was 1931, at #597 nationally. These days it lands below the top 1,000, so it still feels distinctive. More than 3,700 children have been given the name overall.
