Warren is from an English surname that was derived from the Old North French warenne meaning "game park, hunting reserve". Or it may also likely to be from the present participle of the Old North French warir (Old French garir) meaning "defend, keep," from the Proto-Germanic *war- "to protect, guard".
A warren is a series of crowded underground tunnels and burrows that wild or domesticated rabbits live in. And, that's what the name brings to mind for me: rabbits.
