Minos is supposed to be just the name of the mythical king of Crete, but it is not clear if it was really a name or a title, the Cretan word for "king", or the name of a particular king that was subsequently used as a title. It is true that there is a similarity between Minos and the names of other ancient founder-kings, such as Menes of Egypt, Mannus of Germany, Manu of India, etc.
