No, the Dead Sea is called "dead" because its high salinity prevents macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants, from living in it.

The dead sea got its name from all the dead fish in it?

The Dead Sea is named for its extremely high salinity, which creates an inhospitable environment for most aquatic life, leading to the absence of fish and other marine organisms. As a result, the water appears "dead." However, the name is somewhat misleading, as the Dead Sea does support some microbial life and unique salt-tolerant organisms. Its high salinity is primarily due to evaporation and mineral deposits rather than the presence of dead fish.
