Simple answer: No.
'Christian' is a name that people in the world first gave to the people who believed in and preached about Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible says it was a name given to 1st century believers by the citizens of Antioch, Syria (Antakya) in what is now Turkey. (Acts 11:26) The namers were following the standard form for identifying groups of people, e.g., Assyrians, Scythians, Babylonians, etc. In the case of 'Christians', they were saying that these people belong to Christ. Christ (Gk. - Cristos) is the Greek word for the Hebrew word, 'messiah,' which in English means 'anointed one.' So, 'Christians' means "the people belonging to the anointed One." Because there was no anointed one quite like Jesus before Jesus, there were no Christians before Him either.
