Dolls

• The Latin meaning of the word 'mater' implies
  mother or Matryoshka. Thus it will be more
  suitable to call these nesting dolls Matryoshka.
  But some of the individuals mix Matryoshka Dolls
  with Babushka Dolls that are not relatable. We
  agree that babushka belongs to Russia, but it has
  a different meaning from matryoshka dolls. 
• The meaning of babushka is 'grandmother '. But it
  represents the wrong meaning when mixed with
  matryoshka dolls because matryoshka dolls are
  related to maternity and fertility. So it would
  be incorrect to say babushka and Matryoshka are
  the same.
