Definition
A person from Crete, the largest island in Greece, or anything relating to the island of Crete and its culture, history, or people.
Etymology
From Crete (Greek Kriti), the ancient island home of the Minoan civilization, plus the suffix -an meaning 'a person from' or 'relating to.' Used since classical antiquity.
Kelly Says
Cretans gave the world the legend of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth, and were also famous for their wrestling and seafaring—their island's mountainous terrain and coastal position shaped an entire warrior culture.
