Word Origin & History

are  (v.)
present pl. indicative of be, from O.E. earun (Mercian), aron (Northumbrian), see be. Also from O.N. cognates. In 17c., began to replace be, ben as first person plural present indicative in standard English. The only non-dialectal survival of be in this sense is the powers that be. But in southwest England, we be (in Devonshire us be) remains non-standard idiom as a contradictory positive ("You people aren't speaking correct English." "Oh, yes we be!"). Aren't, contraction of are not, is first recorded 1794.

Ares 
Gk. god of war, identified by Romans with their Mars, lit. "injurer, destroyer," from are "bane, ruin," probably cognate with O.E. yrre "ire," Skt. irasya "ill-will."
