Kalina is Bulgarian, Polish in Origin.
Kalina is a Slavic botanical name, with Polish, Bulgarian, and Macedonian kalina as direct modern forms. Its earliest recoverable stage is Proto-Slavic *kalina, the common noun for the viburnum or guelder-rose tree, especially Viburnum opulus. The word is built with the noun-forming suffix -ina; deeper etymology is not secure, though it belongs to an old Slavic plant-name stratum rather than to a borrowed Christian name.
As a given name, Kalina is chiefly feminine in Poland and the South Slavic Balkans, written Калина in Bulgarian and Macedonian. Bulgarian also has the masculine Kalin, while Ukrainian Kalyna and Romanian Călina are cognate forms. The shrub carries folk and song associations in Slavic cultures, most visibly in Ukrainian kalyna symbolism. Named bearers include Polish actress Kalina Jędrusik and Princess Kalina of Bulgaria. In Poland it has appeared in recent official rankings, while in English-speaking countries it remains uncommon.
| Kalina Jędrusik Kalina Jędrusik was a Polish singer and actress, best known as one of the standout stars of postwar Polish film and cabaret. She appeared in more than thirty films between 1953 and 1991, including Jowita, The Saragossa Manuscript, and Earth. |
