No.

Fingerprints are determined by growth conditions in the womb, and are - as far as we know today - unique to the individual.

What sometimes happens though is that formal identification of a finger print is based on a set number of features - not the whole print. And sometimes people's prints are similar enough to be counted as identical at this first comparison.

It's a bit like trying to identify someone by the color of their car, their house and their dog and some other belongings.

If you make the list long enough, eventually there's only one that matches.

But if you keep it short, you can find several that'll fit.
