No, Ca is the symbol for the element calcium. Element symbols are either a single capital letter, or a capital and a lower case letter, e.g.

C is carbon, H is hydrogen, O is oxygen

Ca is calcium, Cl is chlorine, Os is osmium.

When we make the formula of a compound, it's important to look carefully at where one element symbol ends and the next begins.

Thus Co is the symbol for the element cobalt, and CO is the compound carbon monoxide (carbon joined to oxygen).
