Meaning & Origin of Nimrod
Origin: Hebrew (biblical name).
A common claim: Mighty hunter Actually: Nimrod is often said to mean 'mighty hunter,' but that phrase comes from the Bible's description of him (Genesis 10:9), not from a translation of the name itself. The name's true root is uncertain, with some scholars linking it to a word for 'rebel' or to the Mesopotamian god Ninurta.
