Why is Oozie called Oozie?

Hi,

I wanted to know if somebody could help me with the reasons behind the name
"Oozie"?
The meaning seems to be "divine power" in english, but i am not sure how it
ties to the product.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers,
Asif

It's a Burmese word for a mahout to signify an elephant (Hadoop) coordinator
