Usage of the phrase Dominion of Canada was employed as the country's name after 1867, predating the general use of the term dominion as applied to the other autonomous regions of the British Empire after 1907.
Dominion refers to complete ownership of a particular piece of land or territory. 1  Because he considered the Virginians the best of his distant children, sometime around 1663, King Charles II of England elevated Virginia to the position of dominion along with England, Scotland, Ireland, and France.
