 A third interpretation is that the name derives from the Latin phrase "in dominica (praedia)" ("on Imperial property").One other possible explanation is that it is almost the only one from the lesser Churches in Rome that serves as station Church on a Sunday, namely the second Sunday of Lent ("dominica" means "Sunday" in Latin; the other such Church is San Pancrazio which serves as station for Low Sunday), so given the huge number of Churches dedicated to the Blessed Virgin this might have been chosen as identifier.- The appellation "alla Navicella" denotes "near the little ship", and refers to the sculpture of a Roman ship that has been in this location since ancient times, possibly as a votive offering to an ancient temple, and which Pope Leo X turned into a fountain (Fontana della Navicella) in front of the church.
