Minos

Gender: Masculine
Usage: Greek Mythology
Scripts Μίνως(Ancient Greek)

Meaning

Possibly from a Cretan word or title meaning “king”. This was the name of a king of Crete in Greek mythology. He was the son of Zeus and Europa. Because Minos had refused to sacrifice a certain bull to Poseidon, the god had caused his wife Pasiphaë to mate with the bull, which produced the half-bull creature called the Minotaur. Minos had Daedalus construct the Labyrinth to house the beast, but it was eventually slain by Theseus.
