I think your name comes from France where some people got this name but translate : Mineur.

Minor appears to have two sources in the US, one German (see http://tinyurl.com/64y2skc) and one English (see http://tinyurl.com/69zcjav). You'll find their origins at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Minor-name-meaning.ashx and their distribution at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Minor-family-history.ashx.
