I have heard from some sources that Rebecca means cow. Is this true? Thanks!

Ooops, apparently it's not mentioned. If I remember well (I will ask my husband) Rivka means "well fed [like a young cow]" - remember that in traditional societies, being pleasantly plump was a great thing. Rachel was prefered to Lea because Lea was skinny, after all! ;)
