Khalina
Meaning of Khalina
Born in the misty woodlands of Eastern Europe and gliding southward through centuries of whispered folklore, Khalina (pronounced kuh-LEE-nuh / kəˈliːnə /) evokes a tapestry of Slavic roots—where “Kalina” names the viburnum shrub, its white blossoms a timeless emblem of love and hope—yet carries an Italianate lilt that conjures sunlit olive groves and rolling Tuscan hills. Beloved by families in search of a name for their daughters, she has graced American birth records in small yet steady waves—five to thirteen newborns annually since 2011—dancing around ranks 937 to 959, and most recently resting at number 948 in 2023, a quietly uncommon choice. Like a gentle breeze through a villa’s courtyard, Khalina’s soft melody drifts across the tongue and lingers in the heart—sure to charm nonna at first sight and bestow upon its bearer a legacy of natural grace and cultural harmony.
