Well, there is also arrayapply (documented) which calls an array
(memoizing) function or retrieves an array value. On the other hand,
arraymake (and funmake) only construct expressions. So in that context
arraysetapply makes a little more sense.
But if you have a different name for arraysetapply, I am all ears. I
have no particular attachment to it.
