Do these areas have any special meaning or name?

I was just toying around with circles and squares.

Do the red areas in the picture have any special meaning somehow?

If you take both circles of same radius r, then you can compare the areas of red parts in both figures:
In fig 1: $$A(square)=(2r)^2=4r^2$$ $$A(circle)=\pi r^2$$

$$A(red part)=4r^2-\pi r^2 =(4-\pi)r^2$$

In fig 2:
$$A(circle)=\pi r^2$$ diagonal of square=2r, its side will be $r \sqrt 2$ $$A(square)={(r \sqrt 2}^2)=2r^2$$

$$A(red part)=\pi r^2-2r^2=(\pi -2)r^2$$

So, as such there's no definite relation or special meaning between their areas.
Name you ask, may be there's none specifically.
