I think you might mean Aleksei, but yeah, it's all good anyway.

Oh, I'm a fucking idiot. But yeah, заря means dawn (and dusk,) and нов is the short masculine form of новый which means new, so it would really translate to new dawn or new dusk, so the claimed meaning is quite a stretch I'd say, but you can apply any metaphors you want I think.
