The commenter who pointed out that Kalina is also an aboriginal word/name is quite correct. http://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2016/12/13/baby-names-helping-indigenous-languages-live.

As a person named Kalina, I will inform you that it is easier to be mispronounced than you would think, but because it is unique and uncommon, it is easily remembered. There are multiple meanings to this name, one is Sanskrit for "the sun", another is a type of Celtic knot, and yet another is Bulgarian/Hawaiian for flower. In Bulgaria it literally transfers into "Viburnum", which is a bush with white flowers, and in Hawaii, a 'Kalina Flower' is an extremely pretty almost rhododendron/succulent looking mix that is a soft but bright pink fading into yellow. It can also be traced to Polish roots.

I know a little girl named Kalina. We call her "Kalinka" because this means ladybug in Bulgarian. I adore the name because you can go by Kallie or Lina and it sounds so gentle and nice.

The first time I saw Kalina was on a Playstation 2 game called "Devil May Cry 3". Kalina was a charater's mother. You never see her face, but you hear her name.
