For the etymology see the standard biblical commentaries. <ref>For an LDS discussion of the biblical Nimrod (including etymologies of the name), see Bruce W. Warren and John A. Tvedtnes, “In Search of Historic Nimrod,” NPSEHA, No. 155(Nov. 1983), and Warren's earlier article, “Nimrod and his Times,” UAS Newsletter, No. 16 (Dec. 1953).</ref> The name is also equated in the Bible with the land of Assyria ([http://scriptures.lds.org/en/micah/5/6#6 Micah 5:6]).
'''NIMROD''' is a [[JAREDITE(S)|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] GN and PN that may be Semitic in origin: cf. Hebr. ''marad'' "to rebel"; Arab. ''marada'' "to be bold and audacious in acts of rebellion and disobedience"; Geez ''marada'' "to run strenuously; to attack."
 
Some would like to see possibly a variant of [[NIMRAH|N<small>IMRAH</small>]] and thus connect this name with leonid names (BU, NPSEHA 150.0 [Aug. 1982]), citing Dahood (in Pettinato Archives, p. 277), that on the pattern of Ugaritic ''ibrd'', “the bull of Hadd,” Nimrod should be ''nmrd'', “the panther of Hadd” (JAT, BU).
