Nimród

Nimród is the Hungarian form of the biblical name Nimrod. The name's meaning is uncertain, possibly deriving from Akkadian or the Hebrew word meaning “rebel.” In the Old Testament (Genesis 10:8–12), Nimrod is described as “a mighty hunter before the Lord” and the founder of Babylon. He was a great-grandson of Noah. Over time, the name has been adopted in English as a word for a hunter, and later, in American English, as a derogatory term for a fool, popularized by the cartoon character Elmer Fudd.

In Hungarian, Nimród is a masculine given name with biblical roots. It remains in use, though it is not among the most common names. The Hungarian pronunciation is [ˈnimroːd], with stress on the first syllable. The name is related to the Biblical Greek form Nebrod and is ultimately derived from the Hebrew Nimród (נִמְרוֹד).
