It means :ox-headed"

Wikipedia states:

When Alexander was ten years old,[18][19][20] Philoneicus of Thessaly, which adjoined Macedon to the south and renowned for its horsemanship, brought to sell to Philip a specimen of such quality that it was labeled a prodigy. As it turned out, however, the horse was so wild that no man could mount it.[21] Young Alexander, recognizing its shadow as the source of its fear, went over and turned it towards the sun. At this it calmed down, and the young man easily mounted and rode it. His father and the others who saw this (having moments before been in turns skeptical, derisive, and concerned for his safety) were most impressed. Philip, overjoyed at this display of courage, intellect and ambition, kissed him tearfully: "My boy, you must find a kingdom big enough for your ambitions. Macedonia is too small for you."[17] In accordance with a pre-arranged bet, Alexander was allowed to keep the horse. Its name was Bucephalus, meaning "ox-headed" - but it is also a possible reference to the brand that denoted its origin. Bucephalus would be Alexander's companion throughout his journeys and was truly loved: when he died (due to old age, according to Plutarch, for he was already thirty),[22] Alexander named a city after him called Bucephala. It could be said that the horse was the closest friend Alexander ever had.

Answer 2

It was the name of Alexander the Greats' war horse. Yes, it was the name of Alexander the great's war horse, but I'm pretty sure it is misspelled, actually spelled Bucephalus, not Beaucephalus. Bucephalus means "ox head" for his stubborness. Because Alexander was the only one who could break him.
