(Old Testament) the second wife of Jacob and mother of Joseph and Benjamin
"In the Bible, Rachel is remembered as the beloved second wife of Jacob who gave birth to his sons Joseph and Benjamin."
Younger daughter of Laban, sister to Leah, and second wife of Jacob.
"Rachel was the younger daughter of Laban who became Jacob's beloved wife after bearing him his first two sons."
The name Rachel comes from the Late Latin form Rāchēl and ultimately traces back to Ancient Greek Ῥαχήλ. Its original meaning in Biblical Hebrew was "ewe," a term that has remained consistent throughout its journey into English.
