In the original, the mother stole lettuce from the witch's garden. Then she had the kid, named it Rapunzel, and the witch stole the child.

It means lettuce because in the origanl story her mom was craving this special plant that grew in the neighbors garden. The neighbor was a witch so the Dad fearing the witch would refuse he stole the "lettuce" to make a salad for his pregnant wife. She became so obsessed with the "lettuce" she began to lose weight due to her only wanting to eat the "lettuce". When the witch caught the Dad stealing he told her why he was doing it. So the witch said she spare his life if he gave her the baby which he did. So the witch named the baby after the plant he stole.

No no. They kept ist. Rapunzel is just some dort of lettuce and it does not sound weirder in German as it does in English

if some people actually knew the meaning behind the story it wouldn't be that insane.
