Shenandoah is a Native American word which seems to be shared by most of the popular tribes. It means "daughter of the stars", though as one Iroquois chief's name, it meant "deer in the woods." The actual reference of the song is wide and varied, depending on the region the lyrics originate from. As folks songs will, lyrics varied depending on the singer, and would change as the song was passed along.
