No. Missouri is named for the Missouri tribe whose language is classified as Siouan (meaning that they are not the same as the Sioux tribes, but distantly related). The name given to the language is Chiwere.
The Missouri were historically closely connected with the Oto tribe and they are often called Oto-Missouri as if they were one people.
Here are a few words in Missouri (Chiwere) and Lakota sioux to show the radical difference between them:
