Who was Haman's mother?

Question

Is there any mention of Haman's mother in rabbinic literature (Gemara, Midrash, etc.)?

If she was discussed in the Gemara or other sources, what was her name?

This question could be more compelling if you would edit in why you think that Haman's mother's name woudl have been mentioned somewhere, and why you want to know. See meta.judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/306/… — Isaac Moses, Nov 20, 2014 at 2:43

Her name was אמתלאי בת עורבתי.

ואמר רב חנן בר רבא אמר רב אמיה דאברהם אמתלאי בת כרנבו אמיה דהמן אמתלאי בת עורבתי וסימניך טמא טמא טהור טהור

Based off gematria from the difference of their names (כרנבו = 278 ,and עורבתי = 688 ) the diffrence between them (688- 278 = 410) is bitachon in HaShem,when things go bad for Haman he turns to his evil family,but Avraham and his children turn to HaShem in times of trouble ,thats how they deafeat Haman,we see this from the passuk in tehillim 56:4 :יוֹם אִירָא אֲנִי אֵלֶיךָ אֶבְטָח and this passuk equals 410
