As a Biblical name, Nimrod appears in the Old Testament as a great-grandson of Noah, a founder of Babylon, and a famous hunter. In popular culture, its image was altered after the dopey Looney Tunes villain, Elmer Fudd, was called "nimrod" by Daffy Duck in a 40s cartoon. It since became associated less with rebellion and hunting, and more with being a fool.

A widely used Hebrew form of Joseph, with a sophisticated and continental air.

Nimrod appears in the Old Testament as a Babylonian leader, a famous hunter, and a great-grandson of Noah, and while a Looney Tunes cartoon from the 40s may have tarnished its strong, rebellious image in the US, it remains a popular choice in Hungary, in the form of Nimród.
