No.  It's not called X Windows.

As quoted from the X11 man page:

     The X Consortium requests that the following names  be  used
     when referring to this software:

                                  X
                           X Window System
                             X Version 11
                     X Window System, Version 11
                                 X11

     X Window System is a trademark of X Consortium, Inc.



Cheers,
