Arseneo is Greek in Origin.

Arseneo is a modern respelling of Arsenio, ultimately from Greek Arsenios (Latin Arsenius) built on the root arsēn, “male,” giving the meaning “manly, virile.” The name entered Christian use early and endured through monastic and ecclesiastical traditions.

It was borne by figures such as St. Arsenius the Great, a 5th‑century Desert Father, and St. Arsenios the Cappadocian (1840–1924), securing long religious prestige. Romance languages favor Arsenio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), French has Arsène, and East Slavic forms include Arseniy/Arsenii/Arseny; Arsen is common in Armenian, Georgian, and South Slavic use. The classical Greek Arsenios and the Latinized Arsenius remain in liturgical or scholarly use. Feminine counterparts appear as Arsenia (Spanish/Filipino) and Arsenija (South Slavic). As a contemporary variant, Arseneo preserves the venerable sense of strength while offering a distinctive, globally legible spelling.
