Yes, it was. It was the true name of the Confederate ironclad known as the Merrimac from the "Monitor and the Merrimac" battle. The Confederacy took a wooden ship formerly known as the Merrimac and put the iron armour on it. The ship was rechristened The CSS Virginia.
The southern ironclad was the CSS Virginia. It was built upon the partially destroyed hull of the former USS Merrimack.
The CSS Virginia was converted into the ironclad ship from the hull of the U.S.S. Merrimack. The Virginia eventually fought the USS Monitor during the civil war.

They weren't. They were the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. The CSS Virginia was built from the hull of the USS Merrimac, which was sunk and burned by the Union when they left the shipyard.
