Sources identify Nāginī as the feminine form of Nāga, note a locally worshipped form (Nagini or Naiṇī Devī) in the Central Himalaya, and link the term to folkloric shape‑shifters called Ichchadhari Nāgas as well as to multiple cinematic and television adaptations.

The form Nāgnī or Naiṇī Devī is recorded as the name of a serpent goddess worshipped in the valley of the Pindar river in the Indian Himalaya. The lexical form also appears in unrelated modern usages listed on the same disambiguation page.
