Even tho Naga isn't quite Nagi...it's similar
Nagi is a varient of the Arabic name Naji, which means Safe.

Naga is a snake spirit in Buddhism and Hinduism. They're generally male while the females are known as Nagi. It's also the general term for Cobra's in many Asian countries. The TMNT met a Naga in the Archie series while on a quest to find Jagwar's mother. It's also the name of Ninjara's brother.
