Etymology
Learned borrowing from Akkadian𒌷𒀏𒆠(Ninua). The cuneiform sign 𒀏 is formed by a sign denoting a "shrine" (𒀊) with the sign for "fish" (𒄩) inside, a sort of "shrine of the fish", although whether this referred to literal fish, an aspect of Ishtar, a separate Hurrian goddess, or something else entirely is unclear; compare Biblical Hebrewנִינְוֵה(nînəwê)
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
Nineveh as its original entirety, i.e. Mosul and Nineveh
Today, it is a common name for the half of Mosul that lies on the eastern bank of the Tigris, and the Nineveh Governorate in Northern Iraq takes its name from it.
It is also as Nineveh in its original entirety, covering both of Mosul and Nineveh
