Rachel means "ewe" in Hebrew. She was the favourite wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin in the Old Testament.

Yes, it does mean "ewe" but the biblical meaning is also "lamb" ~ can also mean the "innocence and gentility of a rose." Suggest you look up with Wikipedia or other source such as that for complete meaning.
