What is the origin of the word, Easter? Does it have anything to do with east?

Easter is probably originated from Eostre, the goddess of dawn. Dawn is often associated with the east. This is probably how Easter is related to east.

The goddess of dawn is the symbol of youth and fecundity. Bunnies, which are very fecund, and eggs are popular at Easter time.
