In some Slavic languages, particularly Ukrainian, Oleana appears as a folk variant of Olena (Helena). The name gained some recognition through a Norwegian folk song about a utopian community called 'Oleana.' With its flowing vowels and soft sounds, Oleana has a romantic, almost ethereal quality.

In some Slavic regions, particularly Ukraine and Russia, Olia serves as a familiar form of Olga. The name's simplicity and melodic quality give it a gentle, feminine appeal with just three syllables flowing smoothly together.
