No. It's actually based on a real story which Mary Shelley heard from a mysterious beggar in Geneva in 1816. It is a famed local legend, apparently, though modern scholarships suggest it actually originated when Edward John Trelawny (who would later befriend the Shelleys) was somewhat drunkenly sitting by the Lake Geneva and Lord Byron (also intoxicated) spotted him. Trelawny then told Lord Byron and the physician John Polidori the story, possibly made up on the spot but which soon caught on.

How is Frankenstein not the monster?

This answer is from Wikipedia. It's a very good answer & reason why Frankenstein's monster was never really named : Frankenstein's monster (or Frankenstein's creature) is a fictional character that first appeared in Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. In the novel, the creature has no name—a symbol of his parentlessness and lack of human sense of self and identity. He does call himself, when speaking to his creator, Victor Frankenstein, the "Adam of your labours". He is also variously referred to as a "creature," "fiend," "the dæmon," "wretch," "zombie," "devil," "being," and "ogre" in the novel.[1] The monster's namelessness became part of the stage tradition as Mary Shelley's story was adapted into serious and comic plays in London, Paris, and France during the decades after the novel's first appearance. Mary Shelley herself attended a performance of Presumption, the first successful stage adaptation of her novel. "The play bill amused me extremely, for in the list of dramatic personae came, _______ by Mr T. Cooke,” she wrote her friend Leigh Hunt. “This nameless mode of naming the unnameable is rather good.”[2] Into this vacuum, it is understandable that the name of the creator—Frankenstein—would soon be used to name the creation. That mistake was made within the first decade after the novel was published, but it became cast in concrete after the story was popularized in the famous 1930s Universal film series starring Boris Karloff. The film was based largely on a play by Peggy Webling, performed in London in 1927.[3] Curiously, Webling's Frankenstein actually does give his creature his name. The Universal film reverted to the empty cypher, however: the film's credits list the character Karloff plays as a series of question marks. Nevertheless, the creature soon enough became best known in the popular imagination as "Frankenstein".

How did the delacey family loose their money?

A Turkish man, Safie’s father, was sympathized by the De Lacey family in France. He was Muslim, and the country he was trying to prosper in, France, did not like Muslims at the time. So, he was in trouble with the law because of his religion. As a result, he ended up in jail. Thus, the De Laceys, being kind-hearted people, decided to help the Turkish merchant. The Turkish man offered to pay them back, but since the De Laceys were already wealthy, Felix De Lacey turned him down. However, during one visit to his jail cell, he encountered the man’s daughter, Safie. She sparked an interest in Felix, the young De Lacey, and Felix asked for her hand in marriage as a recompense for cracking the Turkish man out of jail. The Turkish man agreed. Turns out, the Turkish man back-stabbed the De Laceys and the family was caught by the French authorities. At the end, the De Lacey family had to flee France, their homeland, and resettle, impoverished and embarrassed in a small village in Germany.
