Cow apparently is derived from Old English cu which came from old German kwon which was derived from some protogermanic word Gwous, which is believed to be an onomatopoeic form of the noise a cow makes, commonly referred to today as lowing or a moo.
In order to clearly differentiate it from a bull, a bicycle, a schoolbus, or a blimp.
