I don't think so.
The lore is that Alan Kay made a folder on his disk for a new project
to experiment with end-user personal computing environments. He named
that folder "squeak", like you would name a temporary folder "blah",
"temp", "scratch", etc. and when it was time to name the project, it
just stuck.
