No, the Latin word for the holiday is Pascha. According to the Venerable Bede, "Easter" comes from the name of the goddess Eostre, who is otherwise unattested. Scholars have suggested (but not come to a consensus) that Eostre may be a Germanic form of the name of an Indo-European dawn goddess who appears in Greek as Eos and in Latin as Aurora.
