Does the Fender guitar name Squier, have any connection to the rock musician Billy Squire?

Upon further searching,

The Squier name was not always associated with guitars; it started out known for violins. These were not ordinary violins--they were some of the best instruments made in the States. In the early 1900s, Victor Squier started producing strings for violins, banjos and guitars. The quality of Squier hand-wound strings was a boon to business, and to meet demand Squier and his workers modified a sewing machine into a string winder that could produce 1,000 strings a day. In the 1960s, the Squier String Company started producing strings for Leo Fender. A few years later, Fender bought the Squier String Company.
