The work on astrology by Shukracharya came to be known as Shukra Nadi, by Agasthya came to be known as Agathiyar Nadi or Agasthya Samhita, by Bhrigu was Bhrigu Samhita, by Nandi was Nandi Nadi, by Narada was Narada Samhita, the mutual contributions of the seven great sages came to be known as Saptarishi Nadi and so on are the various Nadis and Samhitas. The compendium of a sage was known as his samhita/nadi. Since knowledge was not as widespread and written communication was yet developing, sages wrote their wisdom on palm leaves, tree barks and any such thing. Just like the modern vedic astrology is said to be either a Parashari school of thought, or Jaimini school of thought, or KP school of thought same way, the most ancient schools of thoughts were known by their preachers. So, Nadi, although I hate the the word as it has been used by many fakes is nothing but the compilation of a particular school of thought.
