The first recorded story is the 'Epic of Gilgamesh' any connection with Gil-Galad?

The epic of Gilgamish above all, is the tale of one man's struggle with the fear of death, as he desperatley seeks immortality through glorious deeds and the delusive promise of eternal life. I do not think that it has any relation to that of Gil-Galad, even though the names sound similar.
My mother who is from a Mesopotamian background told me that Nahar is arabic for "Golden rays of the sun". Does anybody know what Nahar means in the "common tongue"?
