The word mare is roughly translated from the French to mean ocean or sea. There are large open basaltic areas on the moon, and they are "vast" in a way similar to the sea. And it was natural for those naming the features to apply this term to some of them. There are a number of features like this on the moon, and you can learn more by using the links below. The first link is to the lunar mare where the term is defined, and the second one is to a list of lunar mare.
