Hi!
The name of Ar-se, has probably a native origin. There is another iberian important city which has a similar construction. The iberian city of Kes-se (Roman Tarraco and modern Tarragona) was the capital of the Kessetanian people, another important coastal commercial center, like Arse was.
So, maybe, the -se suffix could have done reference to a concept related with a common activity to both of them but actually unknown for us.
