The meaning of this name derives from Laos=people, the public and Menos=rage, anger. Regards from Greece.
I love this name, though I probably wouldn't use it.
The correct name is Menelaos (not the latinized Menelaus). It derives from the Greek ???????? (meaning "fury of the people") i.e. (??) ????? (fury) + (o) ???? (the people). History of the name dates to Menelaos King of Sparta (Homerian Epics, Ilias).
The name is pronounced me-NE-la-os.
Pronounced min-i-LA-us.
