Rare enough to double-check
Nimrod is uncommon French at frequency #84,104 among 1,563 “N” headwords, classed as aproper noun. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Site archéologique de l’Irak, ancienne cité assyrienne.".
Nimrod doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, since its letter sequence doesn't invite the usual edit-distance slips. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is Nimrod, spelled N-I-M-R-O-D.
