A male given name, form of Donald. (initial capital letter) Mr.; Sir: a Spanish title prefixed to a man's given name.
Don is a masculine given name in the Irish language and a short form of another masculine given name in the English language. The Irish name is derived from the Irish donn; the name can either mean "brown", or "chief", "noble". The Irish name is a variant spelling of Donn. The English name is unrelated to the Irish name; this name is a short form of the given name Donald. Pet forms of this English name include: Donnie and Donny. It can also be a surname, also derived from "brown". It is a common name in the English language.
Early 14c. contraction of do on (see doff). "After 1650 retained in popular use only in north. dialect; as a literary archaism it has become very frequent in 19th c." [OED]. Related: Donned; donning.
Short form, derived from Latin Dominicus (belonging to a lord), from dominus (a lord, a master).
