Arachne cames from the greek word meaning spider.
In Greco-Roman mythology, Arachne was a great mortal weaver who boasted that her skill was greater than that of Athena, goddess of wisdom, weaving, and strategy. When Athena saw the girl's tapestry which ridiculed the gods she turned the poor girl into a spider after destroying her tapestry.

Why is Arachne and Minerva a myth?
Though it is an atypical myth (in that it was purely Roman in origin, not Greek, and it did not serve as an etymological allegory), it is a myth because the people involved did not exist. Aside the fact that Minerva was a goddess, Archne was not a common name among Romans OR Greeks. In fact, the word arachne in ancient Greek simply means spider.As typical of Roman myths, this story has a moral, and serves to illustrate the origin of some natural occurrence (spiders building elaborate webs).
