What does Genesis 30:20 mean?

Leah said, 'God has given me a wonderful gift. Now my husband will treat me with respect, because I've given him six sons.' So she named him Zebulun. Genesis 30:20 - Modern Text Bible

(Leah hopes that after six sons, Jacob will finally honor her. She names the boy Zebulun, which means 'honor' or 'dwelling.')
