Shivaist

I couldn't find any information on the word "shivaist". It's possible that it's a misspelling or a word that is not widely recognized. However, I did find a word "shivaree" which is a noun that refers to a noisy, lively celebration or festival, often following the birth, wedding, or achievement of something. But this is not an exact match to the word "shivaist". On the other hand, I found the word "Shaivite" which refers to a follower of one of the two main theological schools of Hinduism, Shivaism, which emphasizes the god Shiva as the supreme deity. Please clarify if this is the correct word.
