Genesis 10:8-10 (New International Version)
Cush was the father [a] of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the
earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said,"Like
Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD."

 comes from the Hebrew verb marad, meaning 3rebel.2 Adding an 3n2 before the
3m2 it becomes an infinitive construct, 3Nimrod.2 (see Kautzsch 1910: 137
2b, also BDB 1962: 597). The meaning then is 3The Rebel.2 Thus 3Nimrod2 may
not be the character's name at all. It is more likely a derisive term of a
type, a representative, of a system that is epitomized in rebellion against
the Creator, the one true God. Rebellion began soon after the Flood as
civilizations were restored.

Nimrod came along two years after 1995's Insomniac and was the first
indication of Green Day's willingness to stretch the boundaries of punk
rock.
