   As for the etymology, the name is a form of deminutive from the Croatian word GOSPOD, meaning "lord" or "master". There are numerous written examples and documents proving  medieval status of nobility linked to the Gospodnetić name.
     Being the universal language of literate Europe in the Middle Ages, all through the Rennaisance and Baroque periods Latin was widely used, and there was a common practice in latinizing one's name. Therefore, a Latin version of the name Gospodnetić exists - (De) Dominis. This version of the last name was widely missconstrued as being of Italian origin. Although there was a period where Venetians occupied the Dalmatian coast, labeling it "Italian", instead of Croatian, the ethnicity of the indigenous people in Dalmatia never changed. Therefore, the De Dominis' were originally Croats.
