Accad

One of the three cities (Babel, Erech, and Accad) that are between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

It was said to have been founded by Nimrod (Genesis 10:10). “Akkadian” (from Accad) is the name for the language spoken in Mesopotamia from the days of Sargon (around 2360 BC) through Assyrian and Babylonian times.
