I was wondering why "rat" and "child" would be the same word, and that was the only connection that I could see.
In Hebrew, TALITHA means "little girl," but, literally, it means "little ewe lamb."
And, in English, we use the term "kids," which literally means "young goats," so there is a precedent for referring to children by animal names.
