How did the translation end up as 'giants'..?...considering the orig. Hebrew word used was ~Nephilim~[literally meaning 'fallen ones']

but the Greek Septuagint rendered the said word as 'gigantes'

that greek choice of translation later adopted into the Latin Vulgate.

there are some 30 versions of English BIble that don't use the term giants, but rather the Hebrew; Nephilm ['fallen ones']
