I really like this name a lot. I was looking up another name I decided not to use right now and I came across this. I have heard of Arena’s but never as a name before. It is a rare name and could indeed have a good reason in novel to be named this. An author can bring the reason for this name being used about in so many ways. The meaning could play a key role if so wished. And it is a word / name people have heard about before so it is easily pronounced. A few good nicknames can be Ren or Rena.
