Derivation of the word burrow
There is a suggestion that the words bunny and burrow have a common origin and meaning, French in origin appearing in Britain after the Norman Conquest, being a possible explanation for the phrase bunny rabbit. Bunny also means "a collection of ore without a seam running to or from it". There is a common Cornish family name of Bunny/Bunney who are historically linked to the mining of iron ore.
