Dornick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dornick is a word of Irish or Gaelic origin meaning "a small round stone."
The word and its variant spelling, "Donnick," persist in placenames, for example, Oak Donnick Floodway on the St. Francis River. Local residents of the Lake City, Arkansas area refer to "Cane Donnick," also on the St. Francis River in the vicinity of "Cane Island" (an erstwhile community across the river from Lake City). "Hard as dornick" was a colloquial way of affirming a man's toughness in Indiana in 1939 (Paul G. Brewster, American Speech 14:4, 261-8).
