"When Europa was carried off by the god Zeus in bull form, King Agenor sent off his sons, Cadmus, Phoenix and Cilix, in pursuit of their sister, with instructions not to return without her. However, the quest was fruitless, so the sons made homes for themselves. Phoenix gave his name to Phoenicia, Cilix settled in and gave his name to Cilicia, and Cadmus, accompanied by his mother, went to Thrace. Cadmus consulted the oracle at Delphi who told him it was foolish to continue to hunt for his sister because the bull on which she had been carried off was no ordinary beast. Instead, Cadmus should follow a cow with a white, full moon-shaped spot on either flank. Where the cow collapsed in exhaustion, Cadmus was to build a city". Cadmus came to south eastern Thrace and that region was named Europa.

I was asking you what does it mean. You don't answer the question with Wikipedia.
