The company Dunkin' Donuts spells it as shown. It is marketing-speak for "dunking doughnuts".

The full correct spelling of "dunkin" is dunking and it means to dip your doughnut into your drink, be that tea, coffee, milk or what have you. As for a more formal spelling of "donut" is doughnut. Hope this helps.

Dunkin Donuts is the name of the food franchise that sells donuts and coffee across the United States. They shortened and spelled dunking doughnuts to their liking. It's meant to ignite in your mind the act of dipping your doughnuts into your coffee.

Dunkin is just an informal way to say Dunking. Donut can also be spelt as Doughnut.
