While JK Rowling may have increased the popularity of the name to Western audiences, the name is derived from Sanskrit and primarily from Dharmic culture (generally Hinduism and Buddhism), but the description itself is way too vague. Also, the term "Nagi" only has the Arabic version and not the female form referencing the Snake mythology in Hinduism and Buddhism derived from Sanskrit terms. Can anyone please update them?

Here's a link to a Sanskrit dictionary to verify what I've said:

Also, why're there two "Nagi" links? Shouldn't these be connected and given different historic descriptions?
