Could have sworn it was from ishtar, who was from Babylon, but I'm no expert

The rabbit/hare as a fertility symbol is a pretty frequent one across a lot of cultures, kinda like solar deities with solstice holidays. The cult of Ishtar died out in the 600s, the first mention of a tradition of an egg laying hare in connection with the Christian holiday is specifically from Germany a thousand years later.
