It's a division of the sexagesimal system. From Latin minutum ( "small" ). To differentiate it from a smaller one (the second) was originally called minutum primum ( "[measure] small of first order) ), although it was then left alone as 'minute'. The symbol for the time measurement is 'min' , and for the angular measurement it is a single quotation mark.
