No, I don't think so. Actually, it is. It means name as in "homonym" which means same name and "antonym" which means opposite name.
The prefix for "homonym" is "homo-" meaning "same," and the suffix is "-nym" meaning "name." Together, they form a word that means two or more words that have the same spelling or pronunciation but different meanings.
