Kokernag has various interesting legends attached to it regarding its name. It got its name comprises of two words ‘koker’ meaning ‘chicken’ and ‘nag’ meaning ‘serpent’. ‘Nag’ also means a sulphurous water spring in Kashmiri. According to the legend, it was a saint who came to the place with a bucket. He slept and kept his bucket nearby. After sometime some women came in search of water, but could not find any. They saw the sleeping saint and the bucket and decided to take water from the bucket. However, as soon as they went near, a serpent came out of the bucket, escaped and crept in the ground. Soon it emerged in the form of a chicken. The chicken began to dig the soil with its claw and water came gushing out of it. This originated the spring and was named Kokernag. It is also believed that the spring is called kokernag, because of it originates from a claw shaped origin in the earth and moves ahead like a serpent. It is also said that since the collection of various springs forms the shape of a chicken claw, that is why it is called kokernag. Otherwise the real name of the place is Bindoo Zalangam.
