Nope that is how they did it.
the creators when finishing the project's testing, finding out it worked, yelled, YahoooooO!!!!!!!!!! on a notice email.
That then, became the name

It started because Jerry Yang and David Filo (the founders) liked the word and its meaning. Jonathan Swift made up the word in Gulliver's Travels: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth."
In Yahoo's case it is also an acronym for:
Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle
