Some truth is stretching things. The relationship described is as distant as it could be. Plus note that aurum "gold" is a derivative of the root of dawn, in the sense dawn, not the other way round. It more accurate to say that aurum means dawn coloured metal. Greek Eos dawn, English east, Earendel "morning star" and Latin auster "south". Interesting that for most of the world the sun rises in the east but to the Latins it rose in the south.
