In Western terminology, the head of a Monastery is called an "Abbot." The Eastern term for "Abbot" is "Igumen;" oddly enough, most Abbots of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries, especially on Mount Athos, are "Archimandrites," a more or less honorary title, which is considered as ranking above an Igumen, but has no specific correlation in Western terminology.
Answer2: The English words "abbot" and "abbey" are both derived from the Aramaic ʼab·baʼʹ. Jerome, the translator of the Latin Vulgate, objected to the use of the title "abbot" as applied to the Catholic monks in his time and did so on the basis that it violated Jesus' instructions at Matthew 23:9: "Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One."
