yes the Columbia river was named after Columbus
The Columbia River was first discovered around 1775 by Spanish explorers. The river was named by Robert Gray, an American captain who explored the river. His ship's name was Columbia, and the river was named after it.
Robert Gray entered the Columbia River on May 12, 1792. He named the river after the private vessel he was using named the Columbia Rediviva. His exploration of the Oregon coast would support U.S. claims to the territory.
