No. Bunny is a colloquial term used to refer to cute little fluffy rabbits. It is believed to derive from the cute little fluffy tail, which looks kind of like a bun.
Much like kitty, it is just a nickname given to cute rabbits.
Originally, rabbit just refered to the young bunnies, and adults were called conies, but eventually the rabbit term was applied to all ages of the critter.
There are differences between rabbits and hares, however. Hares tend to be longer, leggier and rangier, live mostly solitary lives, and have precocial (well developed) young. Rabbits are more compact and fluffier, usually live in large family units in burrows and warrens, and have altricial (helpless) young.
Rabbits are more common in Europe, while hares are the predominant lagomorph in North America. Jackrabbits, despite their name, are actually hares.
Hope that didn't confuse you even more.
