Πιστεύεται ότι η σημερινή ονομασία δόθηκε στην πόλη στη σύγχρονη εποχή και ότι προέρχεται από το όνομα του μυθικού ήρωα Νιμρόντ (Nimrod).<ref>{{bibleverse||Genesis|10:11-12|KJV}}, {{bibleverse||Micah|5:5|KJV}}, and {{bibleverse||1Chronicles|1:10|KJV}}</ref><ref name=Brill>Brill's Encyclopedia of Islam 1913-36, p.923, "Nimrud": "At the present day the site is known only as Nimrud, which so far as I know first appears in Niebuhr (1778, p. 355, 368). When this, now the usual, name arose is unknown; I consider it to be of modern origin. It should be noted that names like Nimrod, Tell Nimrod, etc. are not found in the geographical nomenclature of Mesopotamia and the Iraq in the middle ages, while they are several times met with at the present day."</ref> Σύμφωνα με τον Henry Rawlinson πρόκειται για τη βιβλική πόλη Χαλάχ (Calah).<ref>[[Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland|Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society]], Volume 12, page 417, quote "The title by which it is designated on the bricks and slabs that form its buildings, I read doubtfully as Levekh, and I suspect this to be the original form of the name which appears as Calah in Genesis, and Halah in Kings and Chronicles..."</ref><ref>The Conquest of Assyria, Mogens Trolle Larsen, 2014, Routledge, page 217, quote: "Rawlinson explained to his audience that the large Assyrian ruin mounds could now be given their proper names: Nimrud was Calah..."</ref>
