'''Arene''' or '''Arênê''' or '''Arène''' means several things:

* Another term for [[aromatic hydrocarbon]]
*In [[Greek mythology]], '''[[Arene (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 [[Ancient Rome|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]].
