Speculation
Mount Parnassus, near Delphi in Greece, was sacred to Apollo and as the home of the Muses is associated with poetry, music and learning. Dom is more obscure. Possible connections include:
- DOM (as on the label of Benedictine liqueur) for Deo Optimo Maximo.
- Dom (cognate with English "dome") is the German word for "cathedral"
