I assume you mean full-automatic variation of an AK-47. It's called an AK-47 or Avtomat Kalashnikova 47 originally developed in the 1940s in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. Any semi-automatic AK-47 is not truly a Kalashnikov. For example, the variant made in Romania in the 1950s is actually a clone designated the WASR-10.
It means Avtomat Kalashnikova (Soviet assault automatic rifle series designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov).
