Not even Mettare? Yikes, I was confident on that one.

I can't come up with anything that fits that description though, so I'll leave it for others.

I will add that the Hobbit name for April, Astron, is derived from Old English for 'Easter', so might fit the theme. Also that all seven Sindarin weekday names start with 'Or' for gold.

Also, charmingly and unrelatedly, I've randomly discovered the Quenya word for 'introverted': óricuvoitë, 'keeping one’s own counsel (not necessarily sinister)'.
