Yes. Passover is called Pesach (פסח) in Hebrew.

Pesach is one of 3 Pilgrimage festivals. The other two are shavu'ot (שבועות) and Sukkot (סוכות)

Why was it called the Jewish Passover?

In many languages other than English and German, Easter is known either as Passover or a derivative of the word. There is also a Christian festival named Passover, observed by small numbers of Protestants as they believe celebrating the event gives their worship greater authenticity (due to the fact that Christ, as a Jew, would have celebrated Passover) such as the United Church of God.Thus, Jewish Passover is a term used to distinguish the Jewish festival from those of other religious groups that observe the event - among Jews, this is not an issue since we usually refer to it as Pesach.
