Rugby comes from Rugby!
It comes from Rugby, which is in Warwickshire, England (UK). It was allegedly invented during a game of football (soccer), when a boy named William Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it. This is probably apocryphal (as, even more probably, is the story that he ran past the touchline, put the ball down, and said "Was that a goal, sir?" to which the master replied "No, Ellis, but it was a good try."). But it certainly comes from Rugby.
