No, not that I have seen. It's only called the MIT license because MIT used it for their software (X, Athena, etc). The BSD license is a similar situation; it doesn't say BSD in it anywhere, it's only called that because it was used by BSD. Plus these days, neither of those licenses are overseen by who named them - vs the Apache and GNU GPL which have version numbers and caretakers, if you will.
