No. Jim Crow was a symbol that was used to refer to African Americans after the civil war, mostly in the deep south (the way that Uncle Sam is a symbol referring to the US government, or John Bull a symbol of Britain). It was mainly used in arguments that called for the continued separation of whites and blacks in southern society.
Jim Crow was not a real person. The term came from a song and dance in 1828 called Jump Jim Crow. There was a fictional character called Jim Crow who was a handicapped slave. It was first performed by a White comedian named Thomas Dartmouth, AKA "Daddy" Rice. The popular expression "to jump Jim Crow" meant to play up negative stereotypes of African-Americans or to act like a minstrel singer. By the time the "Jim Crow" laws came around, the term "Jim Crow" was a racial slur.
Jim Crow is thought to have been first presented about 1830 by Thomas Dartmouth (“Daddy”) Rice, an itinerant white actor. Rice was not the first performer to don rags and use burnt cork to blacken his face to present a mocking exaggerated imitation of an African American, but he was the MOST FAMOUS, and his success helped establish minstrelsy as a popular theatrical form that thrived from about 1850 to 1870.
Rice first introduced the character who would become known as Jim Crow between acts of a play called 'The Kentucky Rifle', in which he performed a ludicrous off-balance dance while singing “Jump Jim Crow,” which described his actions (“Weel about and turn about and do jis so/Eb’ry time I weel about I jump Jim Crow”). He portrayed the character principally as a dim-witted buffoon; in the process, Rice not only created the template for other staple minstrel show characters, but he also fed on, heightened, and popularized pernicious stereotypes of African Americans even as his presentation reflected white fascination with Black culture.
By the late 1830s “Jim Crow” had become a pejorative epithet for African Americans, though arguably it was neither as pervasive nor as hostilely derisive as some other terms.
It is not clear how Jim Crow, the character that popularized blackface minstrelsy in the 19th century, became associated with these laws, but the of use of this symbol says everything about the nature and intention of the laws

Jim Crow did not create the laws. He was a black man who was singing a song while working when a white man heard his song and wrote his own song called the Jim crow jubilee. It was a major hit so when the segregation laws came out they just used his name. Its a name thing like plessy vs Ferguson but Jim crow had nothing to do with the laws.
Jim Crow was not an actual person. It was the system in the southern United States that kept African Americans from being fully invested as American citizens. Jim Crow was a derisive term for a black man.

Jim Crow is a name, but not the name of a person. The words "Jim Crow" are symbolic of racism - especially in the United States. To live in a Jim Crow nation means that the nation has rules that treat their people differently because of their ethnicity. Most of the time, however, the state does not treat them fairly, but as one race is inferior to the other(s).
Jerico-Jim Crow was created in 1964.
Jump Jim Crow was created in 1828.
