My wife confirms that matryoshka is just the name of the doll, and babushka is a grandmother. :-)
Cheers,
John
Update: interesting video! The computer was reading a printed text, so said mAYtryoshka not mAHtryoshka. Also read 'object as ob'ject. Spelling the word matreshka, as the video suggests doing, means missing the two dots over the e in Russian which makes the e an o.
All this to say: it's tough to spell, and my wife isn't sure how to spell it in English...
