Does the meaning of Jael's name bear any literary significance?

Judges 4:17 (ESV)

17 But Sisera fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

Jael’s name means “mountain goat,” but it is highly doubtful that this bears any literary value.
