What does Kalinka mean in Russian?

"Kalinka" (Калинка) in Russian literally means "little viburnum".

Viburnum is a type of flowering shrub with red berries, which are sometimes used to make jams and other treats.

However, "Kalinka" is often used as a metaphor for something small, beautiful, and precious, like a young girl or a charming song.

It's most famous for its association with the Russian folk song "Kalinka", which is known for its lively and celebratory melody.
