Male rabbits are called bucks while female rabbits are called does. An older term for an adult rabbit is coney which is ultimately derived from the Latin word cuniculus. A common term for a young, hopping rabbit is bunny, however, this term is often used informally and mostly by children, while referring to rabbits, especially domestic ones.
