the "Babuschka Lady
I wonder who first thought up that name anyway?
BTW- babushka [бабочка] literally means butterfly...a nickname for grandma.

Babushka is grandmother in Russian and Dealey plaza Babuska lady got this name because of her scarf on her head.

Thanks Patrick but I believe I did state in my post that I know babushka means grandma.
However, [if you re-read my post] what I was wondering is WHO had first thought up that name?

You did write that you know but butterflies has nothing to do with this. Бабочка is butterfly and babushka is бабушка. Babushka lady was most probably first time used by some of the researchers or reporters.

The original early plot called for blaming the assassination on the Communists and Russians....  They wanted to make it appear that he mystery woman was a Russian.....Thus they dubbed her Babushka....  In Texas a more appropriate  moniker would have been "Bandanna Lady" if it had been a spontaneous and un-contrived label.

You may recall that the early reports said that Lee Harvey Oswald was the leader of a band of communists under the banner of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee .....
