No. However, he was conceived through rape. His mother somehow got locked into a mental institution for the criminally insane. She was raped repeatedly all night long by these monsters, and nine months later she gave birth to Freddy. I know, I know, it's a very silly, very contrived backstory. It's like something a 12 year-old would come up with. But...that's the official story.

Originally he was supposed to be a child molester, but they decided to change that aspect of the character because, at the time the movie was made, there was an extremely high-profile child molestation case going on, and the filmmakers did not want to be accused of basing the Freddy character on that particular criminal.
