The Americans call it the half note and the English call it a semi-breve.
A minim is a musical note equal in length to two crotchets.
A minim is worth four quavers. In musical notation, a quaver is half the duration of a minim, meaning it takes two quavers to equal the length of one minim. Therefore, when you combine four quavers, they equal one minim.

A note that is 2 crotchet beats long is called a minim. In music notation, a minim is represented by an open note head with a stem, and it typically lasts for twice the duration of a crotchet (quarter note). Minims are commonly used in various musical compositions to create rhythmic patterns.
