In Greek mythology, Arene was the wife of Aphareus and mother of Idas and Lynceus.
A French family name of the Provence region with the same origin as the Spanish Arenas and Italian Arena, all derived from the Latin root word (h)arena, meaning sand. By family tradition, the sand in question was that of the Roman arena (or colosseum), thus making the original bearer a gladiator. More likely, however, the name simply signifies a person who lived on or near sand, such as on a beach.
