The stem of Are:s (gen. Areos) is *Are:s (gen. aresos). Analogous stems seem to be masculine names derived from neuter s-tems, for example:
kratos (gen. krateos) > -krate:s
sthenos > - sthene:s
me:dos > -me:de:s
kle(w)os > *kle(w)e:s
menos > -mene:s
So, we would try to derive Are:s from an hypothetical aros (gen. areos), if such name is actually Greek. Aros in Greek means "use, profit, gain", but this name has only the Nominative. (cf. aristos, arete:, areion ?)
