ArchivesRe: The Nagini description is vacuous
in reply to a message by jarinjove
In a special content I saw in "The crimes of Grindelwald" BluRay, J.K. Rowling explained that "Nagini" comes from Sanskrit and means "female naga" (so it corresponds to the second definition the Sanskrit Dictionary gives). I found that the word "naga" can mean "snake" or design a mythological snake-demon (maybe Rowling took inspiration from this creature). Then there are other definitions I don't find useful in this context (except one meaning "cruel man", I'd consider it). You can also find an accurate description here:

Talking about the links, they design two different names from different cultures. None of them is related to Nagini. Also, one of the name is Japanese, which doesn't descend from Sanskrit as Arabic.
Hope I've been helpful to you.
