No. Static means the address doesn't change ("fixed" is another name
for the same thing). Typically, static addressing is *also* used in
reference to manually configured addresses, rather than some DHCP server
always serving the same address to the same device. But that's static
addressing, too.
Dynamic being the opposite - the addresses change, or *may* change.
