Nineveh

Named after the ancient city in Assyria, which is said to derive from Latin Ninive and Septuagint Greek Nineyḗ (Νινευή) under influence of Biblical Hebrew Nīnewēh (נִינְוֶה). Nīnewēh is, itself, derived from Akkadian Ninua/Ninâ or Old Babylonian Ninuwā. Though it is unclear what the original meaning of Nineveh was, it may have been referred to a goddess associated with fish, probably since the cuneiform of Ninâ is a fish within a house (compare Aramaic nuna meaning "fish.")

There is a character so named in an episode of Perry Mason (The Case of the Nebulous Nephew). She was played by Meg Wyllie.
