These are called as Croccdile Clips in India as long as I know ( say 50
years )
and never with any other name. Perhaps the word "Crocodile Clips" is of
English origin whereas "Alligator Clips" is of American origin.

There is a nice educational software by name CROCODILE CLIPS at

http://www.crocodile-clips.com/education/

suitable for high school students for learning DC circuits.
