Ref: word meaning

[Christina L Board <christbd@JUNO.COM>]

Does anyone know what the word "Oleanna" means?  It is the name of a play
by David Mamet written in 1993.  I have a student who needs to know who
or what it is/means.  She thinks it could me something from mythology
(Scandinavian maybe).  It appears in a folk song that Mamet quotes at the
beginning of the play.  I don't think a name for the song is given.
