See Wiki here:

The Volkswagen Golf is a small family car manufactured by Volkswagen since 1974 and marketed worldwide across six generations, in various body configurations and under various nameplates — as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada (Mk1 and Mk5), and as the Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico (Mk1).

Keep in mind the americans called the original Volkswagen the Beetle.
The Golf Mk. was small and quick, so they called it Rabbit.
