The word ' Europe' comes from the ancient Greek mythological figure, Europa.
The Greek god Zeus fell in love with, or at least took a fancy to, Europa, a Phoenician noblewoman in this version, and hid among Europa's father's cattle, disguised as a very gentle and hugely attractive white bull.
The story goes that Europa, while gathering flowers in her dad's cow paddocks, spotted the bull (Zeus), which spat a crocus at her. Naturally, she climbed onto his back, whereupon he charged off into the Mediterranean and swam to Crete, a large Greek island, which is still there today.
On Crete, Zeus explained to the girl that he was really king of the Gods and not a bull at all, and made her Queen Europa the First of Crete. Queen Europa gave birth to three sons by Zeus.
There are other ancient legends about Europa, and naturally there are debates about all versions of her tale. Homer wrote that she was, in legend, a queen of Crete.
Eventually, the term Europa was used to describe part of northern Greece and much later - before 500 BC - Europa had come to mean other lands further north of Greece in the continent we now know as Europe.
Terms originating from the word 'Europa' are used by major non-English-speaking countries to describe the continent of Europe.
The actual origin of the word 'Europa' before it was used as the name of the lady of the legend is not at all clear. Ancient Greek, Indo-European, Arabic, and Hebrew, are among suggestions offered, but since our knowledge of where those languages originated is extremely limited, there really is no way to tell where the word originally came from and to whom, or what, it referred.
Incidentally, legend goes that Minos, King of Crete and one of Europa's sons by Zeus, asked his uncle, the god Poseidon, to send him a pure white bull to show he, Minos, was well-liked by the gods; Minos promised to sacrifice the bull as a thank-you when it arrived, but the bull was so beautiful he kept it as a pet instead.
This insult infuriated one of Poseidon's girlfriends, the goddess Aphrodite, and she caused Minos' wife. Pasiphaë, to fall in love with the bull. Pasiphaë had a wooden cow made and hiding in this, enticed the bull to consummate their love. The result was the Minotaur, half-man, half-bull and all-horrible. When the baby Minotaur became too fierce for Pasiphaë to breastfeed the King ordered built a huge maze - called the Cretan Labyrinth - outside his palace, and confined the Minotaur there, where, alone and without its mother's milk, it ate people instead.
So, the family was connected with cattle in more than one way.
Both stories, that of Europa as well as that of her grandson-in-law, the Minotaur, are interesting and worth looking up.

What do you understand by term renaissance?
The term 'renaissance' means re-birth or revival. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are known as period of Renaissance when many educated men turned from religious speculation to the study of ancient Greek and Roman writers and challenged the religious and philosophical teachings of the medieval church.
They were not satisfied with the study of the medieval translations of the famous writers of ancient Greece and took to the study of the original Greek works of Plato, Aristotle and others.
They also searched the monasteries for old Latin manuscripts and translated many hitherto unknown works from Greek antiquity to Latin. In short these writers tried to induce classical learning into the main stream of the western thought. It may be observed that this period there was not only revival of interest in Greek literature but also in classical architecture and sculpture.
As the scholars of the Renaissance period took keen interest in the individual they are also known as humanists. They emphasized the worth of man and tried to project the individual as a free agent. The Renaissance spirit can be best summed up in the words of Leon Battista Alberti, "Men can do all things if they will".
It may be observed that the Renaissance was not merely a revival of the learning of ancient times but it was much more than that. A spirit of inquiry developed, a spirit of freedom in thought and action" prevailed all around. Men were no more willing to accept without question the teachings, customs and superstitions of the past. In short, people developed a critical attitude towards medieval institutions.
It is noteworthy that Renaissance did not start in all parts of Europe simultaneously, nor did all the medieval habits and institutions disappeared in all the parts immediately. On the contrary a vast majority of common people continued to cling to the old institutions and practices for long.
The renaissance started with a small group of educated people in Italy and spread to France, Germany and England. Renaissance was a turning point in the history of Western civilization and is often described as a bridge between the medieval period and the modern times in Europe.
