why are they called cowboys?

oh oh oh.... Have you ever wondered why cowboys are called cowboys when they infact ride horses ? As a little girl, I have always wondered why they are not called horseboys... now, thats doesn't sound right. Just don't have the feel of it... sound alien to me. But everyone know, a cowboy rides a horse.
And, now, I have been made known that they are called cowboys because they ride horses to work cattle. I know there are cowboys in America and Spain but are there cowboys in other parts of the world?
I live in the United Kingdom and never heard of a cowboy here.

What did you think a cowboy was when you were a little?
