No, although there are lengthened forms of piano. Pianissimo, also seen as PP in sheet music and means very quiet, pianissisimo (PPP) which means very, very quiet, and pianissississimo (PPPP), which is even softer than PPP.

There is also the word pianoforte which means soft to loud.

The word 'piano' I think is originally Italian, meaning soft/quiet. The original name for a piano was 'piano forte' (soft/quiet loud) as it was the first of its kind with the ability to produce loud and softer sounds.

The term piano, or symbolized with the letter "p", indicates a soft dynamic, or to play quietly. When used with an "m" (mp), it becomes mezzo-piano, meaning "moderately soft"; and when doubled (pp), it becomes pianissimo, meaning "very soft".

In Italian it means "soft" as in sound, like "quiet". In English it is an instrument.
