I'm not really sure I understand what you want to achieve, but when
you want to "name" things, a possible solution is a hash:

arrays = {"array1" => ["1", "2"], "array2" => ["3", "4"]}

arrays["array1"] # => ["1", "2"]
arrays["array2"] # => ["3", "4"]

If you could explain with a bit more detail what is the problem you
need to solve, maybe we can come up with better solutions.
