Nagamani meaning
Nagamani (नागमणि) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu and Kannada usage). By its first sound, ना, it is a Vrishchik rashi name (Anuradha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Serpent jewel; nāga 'serpent' with maṇi 'jewel'
Also used to mean: snake gem, gem of a serpent
Nagamani (नागमणि) joins nāga, which Monier-Williams gives as a snake or a serpent-being, with maṇi, "a jewel, gem, pearl". It names the nāgamaṇi of folklore, a precious stone said to be carried in the hood of a great cobra, and so suggests something rare and treasured. Serpent deities are widely honoured in South India, especially at Nagula Chavithi and Naga Panchami, and Nagamani is a traditional girls' name in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
