No, it's a genus of tree. I daresay what is confusing you is the name "Weeping Willow." I might be confused, but I think it is a good guess. Although I am not certain human beings can be absolutely certain about the emotions of trees, weeping willows are not named because they are perpetually sad. The reason for the name is that its leaves hang frow its branches in a manner considered particularly hangdog. It is the anthropomorphized connotation of its countenance from which the name arises.
