Her japanese name is 口寄せ・大蛇  (Kuchiyose-Orochi) which literally means "Big Summoned Snake", so it's actually unlikely she's a direct reference to Yamata-no-Orochi.

It's just another case of Zynga not being creative with names, except they kept half of the japanese name as its translation so we don't notice it (like Kyu which just means "bow" in English)
