Sene (pronounced SEH-neh) is a compact, multicultural given name with several roots. In francophone West Africa, it corresponds to Sène, a prominent Serer patronym from Senegal and The Gambia that has migrated into use as a first name in the diaspora. In Polynesia, especially Samoa and Tonga, Sene appears as a short, melodic given name; in Samoan it also denotes a “cent” (from English), a playful, everyday word sometimes adopted as a nickname-turned-name. In English use, Sene can function as a clipped form of Selene (“moon”), Serena, or Seneca.

As a given name, use is largely 20th–21st century. Usage is unisex and rare, favored by contemporary name seekers for its simple shape. Spellings and related forms include Sène, Seneh, Sena, Sené, and Selene. Meanings vary with origin: lunar radiance via Greek Selene, family lineage in the Serer tradition, or a colloquial monetary sense in Samoan contexts.
