What is the land of NOD? What does it mean?

The above answer by "timbo" is correct. The Land of Nod is in the Bible, Genesis 4:16, referring to Cain. And I assume this is what you are referring to.

But there also is a nursery rhyme by Robert Louis Stevenson called the "The Land of Nod".

From breakfast on through all the day

At home among my friends I stay.

But every night I go abroad

Afar into the Land of Nod.

All by myself I have to go,

With none to tell me what to do,

All alone beside the streams

And up the mountain-sides of dreams.

The strangest things are these for me,

Both things to eat and things to see,

And many frightening sights abroad

Till morning in the Land of Nod.

Try as I like to find the way,

I never can get back by day,

Nor can remember plain and clear

The curious music that I hear.

The Land of Nod is a place in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, located "to the east of Eden", to which Cain was banished after murdering his brother Abel. The Hebrew word nod means "wandering".

"And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden." (Genesis 4:16, King James Version)

This passage is generally recognized as a mistranslation; "Nod"(נוד) is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander"(לנדוד). The simplest interpretation of Genesis 4:16 is that Cain was cursed to wander the land, not that he was exiled to a "Land of Wanderers" otherwise absent from the Old Testament.

Land of Fugitiveness

Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

(YLT) And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;

There are no archeological findings on Nod.

Therefore, it was probably just an area east of Eden as described.
