Sometimes people also refer to her as Nyai Loro Kidul. Javanese loro is a homograph for "two - 2" and "pain, suffering". While the Javanese of rara (or roro) means "girl". A Dutch orthographer predicted a change from the old Javanese roeroe to the new Javanese loro, resulting in a change in meaning from "beautiful girl" to "sick person"

Sometimes she is said to have the form of a mermaid when she basks the sun on her rock. This belief may stem from the legend about the Princess of Pajajaran who suffered from leprosy. Her skin disease was probably thought to be the same as a snake shedding its skin for recovery and replenishment.
