Mammarenavirus is a genus of viruses in the family Arenaviridae.[3] The name is a portmanteau of mammal and the former name Arenavirus, and differentiates it from the reptile-associated Reptarenavirus.[2] Arenavirus comes from the Latin arena (sand) for the sandy appearance of the virions.[4]

Derivation of name Arena: from Latin arenosus, "sandy" and arena, "sand", in recognition of the sand-like particles observed in thin section. The name originally proposed was arenovirus, but was subsequently changed to avoid possible confusion with Adenovirus.
