Lady or morning star
Donica is a name with dual potential origins. It is often considered a feminine diminutive of the Latin 'Dominica', meaning 'of the Lord' or 'lady', but it is also associated with Slavic folklore as the name of a morning star or a mythological figure. In some contexts, it is viewed as a modern elaboration of Donna.
