For English speakers "nu" in Swedish means "now", so it was a really popular TLD here in the early Internet. I'm guessing it still kinda is but I don't see those domains as much anymore. I don't know much about its history though so someone maybe can correct me if the meaning of nu isn't the reason the TLD ended up in Sweden.

In Dutch nu also means now.

It also means "naked" in french. For example, https :// homme. nu/ which directly translates to "man dot naked" (and reads as "naked.man"). (Broken the URL on purpose, don't go there. It's a risky site likely filled with malware.)
