Best Answer

The name Rachel means ewe and in Hebrew ewe means female sheep I was just wondering how you would pronounce ewe. A ewe, pronounced "YOU". Because "ewe" begins with a vowel, it may be correct to list it as "an ewe" but in speech, the sound you hear is "U", and therefore, it is justifiable to list it as "a ewe" as well.

EDIT: According to the book "Principles of English Grammar" Page 19 an ewe is shown as incorrect. The reason is cited on page 18 "a and not an is used before a long u" Other examples cited a eulogy, a unit.
