From Jay Dyer tweet:
Absolute garbage.
Easter Week in Latin = In Albis, meaning the plural of 'Dawn'.
The Season in Old High German = 'Eostarum', meaning 'Dawn'.
The Season in Modern German / English = 'Easter'.
The first association of Easter with Bunnies and Eggs came from Protestants, becoming widespread in the 19th century. It's almost like they wanted to obscure the true meaning of the season.
