No, Cain's mother was Eve.

The word 'Lilith' comes from Isaiah 34:11-14 , and the International Standard Bile Encylopedia has the following to say about it:-

"The term "night-monster"' is a hypothetical translation of the Hebrew term לילית, līlīth, used once only, in Isa_34:14. The word is translated in the King James Version "screech-owl," margin "night monster," the Revised Version (British and American) "night-monster," margin "Lilith." The term "night-monster" is also an interpretation, ....

Concerning this weird superstition, and its strange, single appearance in the Book of Isaiah, Professor Rogers has this to say: "The lil, or ghost, was a night-demon of terrible and baleful influence upon men, and only to be cast out with many incantations. The lil was attended by a serving maid, the ardat lili ("maid of night"), which in the Semitic development was transferred into the feminine lilitu. It is most curious and interesting to observe that this ghost-demon lived on through the history of the Babylonian religion, and was carried out into the Hebrew religion, there to find one single mention in the words of one of the Hebrew prophets" ...

... The term occurs in a list of creatures, the greater part of which are matter-of-fact animals or birds.....Following [other] translation[s] we have: "pelican," "hedge-hog," "horned-owl," "raven," "wild-dog," "ostrich," "forest-demon" (se‛īr), "night-monster." This is a curious mixture of real and imaginary creatures. ... Either all these creatures are looked upon as more or less demonic or, as seems ... far more probable, none in the list is considered otherwise than as supposed literal inhabitants of the wilderness. ...
