No. Thor (originally Tor) means Thunder. Odin is connected to poetry and inspiration, I believe, and he is both a leader of the pantheon (in Greek and Roman mythology this is a position reserved for the thunder god - also in Judaic faith, by the way - Jahve is originally a thunder god) and a god connected to Mercury, the messenger, the poet and inspirator. Connected to wisdom.
