Etymology / Origin
The name consists of two elements: “Domaszew,” which is a toponym also found in nearby villages and likely derives from a personal name (e.g., Domash or Domasi), and “Młyn,” the Polish word for “mill.” The compound therefore suggests that the settlement originated as a mill (or mill site) associated with the Domaszew locality.
