How did the South Sydney Rabbitohs get their name?
The name “Rabbitohs” dates back to the early 1900s and is tied to South Sydney’s working-class roots. At the time, some players and supporters earned a living by catching and selling rabbits on the streets of Sydney. Sellers would often shout “rabbit-oh!” to attract customers—a call that became strongly associated with the local area. The club embraced the nickname, and it stuck. Over a century later, the Rabbitohs name remains to commemorate this tradition and the deep community ties.
