your case:

       location = /index.html  {
           set  $name  "";

           if ($http_cookie ~ "cookieName=([^;]+)(?:;|$)") {
               set  $name  $1;
           }

           index  index$name.html;
       }

or more generic:

       location /  {
           set  $name  "";

           if ($http_cookie ~ "cookieName=([^;]+)(?:;|$)") {
               set  $name  $1;
           }

           index  index$name.html;
       }
