Monks' titles are titles given to members of religious orders, such as the Benedictines and the Franciscans. The two most common titles are Fras and Doms, both of which are abbreviations for the Latin words frater and dominus, respectively. Fras is a title given to a monk who has taken his vows but has not yet been ordained, while Doms is a title given to a monk who has been ordained. Both titles are used to denote respect and authority within the religious order.
