Brahminee

/brɑːmɪˈniː/ noun

An alternative spelling of brahmani; a Brahmin woman or the wife of a Brahmin, or a Hindu goddess.

From Sanskrit 'brāhmaṇī' with a British colonial English spelling variant adding '-ee' (as in 'rupee,' 'chutney'). This reflects how English speakers adapted Sanskrit words with anglicized endings.
