Doms doesn't mean chatedral, "doms" is term to refer to important church, more importan than cathedral (according, It is like a title, the church originaly was named after Saint Mary - Rīgas Svētās Māras baznīca or something. There ceratanly must be similar english term for that -- Xil/talk11:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I searched around - it seems that in english it is named chatedral in bouth cases and doma cathedral is wrong anyway (cathedral of cathedral ?). It should be moved to more aproporite name, only problem is that there are two chatedrals in Riga - this and orthodox cathedral, that everyone knows as cathedral.---- Xil/talk12:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
The modern Latvian word "Doms" is short for "Doma baznica", which again is transcribed from the German "Domkirche" (derived from Latin "domus" or home - i.e. the home of the bishop). In my opinion, the correct name for this article would be "Riga Lutheran Cathedral", the correct name for St. Jacob Cathedral, Riga would be "Riga Catholic Cathedral" and the correct name for the Nativity Cathedral, Riga would be "Riga Orthodox Cathedral". --PhilawebT-C18:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
