Are these like Matryoshka dolls? Or, since Babushka means grandmother in Russian, are these for grandmother dolls?

Here's what I found on the internet:

Technically, the correct Russian name for the dolls is Matryoshka. Inaccurate terminologies such as babushka dolls seem to have slowly seeped into the foreign vocabularies, unbeknownst to the Russian creators. Interestingly, babushka is the Russian word for grandmother and has little to do with matryoshkas. A possible connection, perhaps, rests on the generous nature of Russian babushkas, spoiling their grandchildren with toys and, more likely than not, matryoshkas.
