Hi Ellen:

---

According to my husband's bible dictionary, Rachel means:

---

"Rachel (raw-kale'); from an unused root meaning to journey; a ewe (the females being the predominant element of a flock] (as a good traveler);

---

KJV -- ewe, sheep"

---

I've also heard it means "bound." Hope this helps.

You're Number 4.

Just for casual amusement, I'm keeping a tally this month of how many people come to this message board asking for name meanings which are already in the Search database.
