Could it be analogical: yogī : yogi- = sarasvatī : X- ?

This "sarasvatī", as well as "Bhāratī" is added in the title of many Sannyasins. Sometimes I see the titles with a long "ī", and here is an instance of a short "i". I am wondering as to what is the common practice and the grammar of that practice, especially since normally feminine expressions are being used in male titles. Any suggestions?
