'''Igumen''' or ''hegumen'' is the title for the head of a [[monastery]], similar to the one of [[abbot]]. The head of a convent of [[nun]]s is called ''igumenia'' or ''ihumenia ''(Greek: ''hegumeni''). The term means "the one who is in charge," or "the leader" in Greek. An igumen is not necessarily a member of the [[clergy]].
