How Was "Dom Pérignon" Named?

From Wikipedia:

Dom Pérignon is a famous and expensive champagne produced by Moët et Chandon. It is named after Dom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who allegedly discovered the champagne method for making sparkling wines. Documentary evidence now suggests that a fizzy or sparkling wine was first made in England at least several decades before it was produced in France.
