Μίνως
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editFrom the Cretan Ancient Greek word for "king." Appearing in Minoan Linear A tablets is mi-nu-te, which is possibly related.[1] The term is also possibly related to Sanskrit मुनि (muni, “ascetic”) (fitting the legend of Minos living in Cretan caves), which suggests a common Proto-Indo-European origin.[2]
