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.
um.... in Rapunzel's original Story her day trades her as a baby for a head of lettuce to a witch the witch named her Rapunzel as a way to always remember how she got her baby.
