Kuleba (кулеба) can be a 'soup' and especially 'fish soup', 'a piece of cooked wheat with fish inside'.
The surname is typically Ukrainian and the root of the word kuleba is certainly not-Slavic. The name of the dish could be inherited from Turkish or any other language, when Ukraine that was the original cradle or ancient Rus' was invaded and occupied by nomads. Technically Ukraine is the ancestor of Russia and the Ukrainian underwent a very important influence of foreign words from the west and from the east, when Russian was more influenced by northern languages.
