I understand that dominianni was the original name. Dominijanni was the new latin spelling of the original name as the "J" is pronounced as a "Y" and the most recent is dominiyanni. SO three two offshoots of one name. I do understand that we have greek, armenian and turkish blood in our family as my great grandfather was named Bruno Turco, and that we have cousins with the last name Greco. Again, this is from what I have gathered talking to my family but they will also tell you that the space shuttle was invented by the Calabresi 1000 yrs ago.
