About Kaleena
Slavic in origin, the name Kaleena refers to the flowering shrub known as viburnum, characterized by its beautiful white petals. In the endangered Wemba Wemba language of northwestern Victoria and southern New South Wales, Kaleena carries the meaning of "love." Its Hawaiian counterpart, Kalina, is a variation of Colleen and Karen.
As the Slavic translation of the flower viburnum, Kaleena shares a connection with the rowan tree. Viburnum encompasses a genus of around 150–175 species of shrubs or, in some cases, small trees belonging to the moschatel family, Adoxaceae. The name gained recognition in the early 1980s due to child actor Kaleena Kiff, who starred in the popular sitcom Love, Sidney.
