I looked it up, and it's actually spelled Nimrata. Which is funny, because it sounds like it would be a romantic language's feminine form of nimrod.
That could be close to the actual etymology. I believe "Nimrod" is the name of a person in the Bible.
Some funny trivia with "might hunter": Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd nimrod, saying something like "nice shot, nimrod!" -- the insult was that Elmer was a bad hunter. But the obscure reference was lost on most people, much less a child audience (myself included), and so nimrod became a generic insult akin to "idiot" or "imbecile.
Maybe I've been playing too much Dwarf Fortress lately, but that quote reads so much like something you'd read in Legends mode lol
