Minor is a surname of French origin that has been recorded a number of ways, including Minors, Miner and Miners, just to name a few. This surname, which was introduced to England after the 1066 Norman invasion, was likely first used to describe an individual who built tunnels or pits, as it is derived from the eighth century word “mineur,” which means to dig or mine. One of the first records of Minor as a surname dates back to 1212 in the Curia Regis Rolls of Lincoln.
