Rabbits are adorable and beloved animals both in the wild and as pets. They also are full of symbolism in both the Chinese zodiac and other cultures around the world, often as a symbol of luck, prosperity, and fertility. To reference these meanings, or simply your love for this sweet animal, you might want to choose a name meaning “rabbit” for your baby.
You might choose a word meaning “rabbit” from another modern language. Fans of Sailor Moon may favor the name Usagi, meaning rabbit in Japanese. In the original Japanese series, Sailor Moon’s given name is Usagi, making her full name translate to “rabbit of the moon,” though it was changed for English audiences. The Korean word for rabbit is Tokki, often used as a cute nickname for children and female significant others. Though uncommon as a given name in Korea, it could be used for a baby girl.
Some people may also use Bunny as a girl’s name, a common English term used to affectionately refer to a small rabbit.
There are several names meaning “rabbit” that come from older forms of languages, so are less obvious in meaning to modern people. For example, the boy’s name Leveret comes from an old-French word meaning “young rabbit,” but the term isn’t used anymore in modern French. Similarly, the girls’ name Arely has old-English roots and means “from the rabbit meadow.”
For a unisex name meaning “rabbit,” you might choose the name Coello. This name comes from the Galacian language, a Latin-origin minority language found in Northwestern Spain.
