Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno je doložené v hebrejskej Biblii ako נִמְרֹד (Nimrod). Hebrejský pôvod tu označuje jazyk biblického doloženia, nie bezpečne určený etymologický koreň. Spojenie s hebrejským slovesom mārad, „búriť sa“, je tradičný, ale neistý výklad; uvažuje sa aj o staršom mezopotámskom pôvode. Pôvodný význam nie je spoľahlivo známy. Označenie „lovec“ vychádza z biblického príbehu, nie z preukázanej etymológie.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Neistotu etymológie uvádza hebrejský lexikón Brown–Driver–Briggs; biblickú charakteristiku dokladá Genezis 10,8–9. Jazykové podoby dokladajú Behind the Name, nemecká Zürcher Bibel, poľská Biblia Tysiąclecia, francúzsky preklad AELF a španielske preklady EWTN a Traducción del Nuevo Mundo. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou slovenského vzoru chlap. Štyri až sedem zaužívaných slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo spoľahlivo doložiť, preto pole zostáva prázdne. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii M. Majtána ani stanovisko JÚĽŠ SAV k tomuto krstnému menu neboli priamo overené; profil im preto nepripisuje svoje závery.
