A German word for cathedral, as in Kölner Dom or Berliner Dom. It derives from the latin word "domus" - house/home, and refers to a church as House of God (cf. Italian "Duomo")
DOM is an acronym that stands for Deo Optimo Maximo : in Latin it means To most good and powerful God and it is carved on the front of many catholic churches. It imitates Roman dedications to Jupiter.
In French it is a title of respect for monks as in Dom Perignon, analogous to the Italian and Spanish Don.
