Yes; the name Steely Dan was taken from the novel

The band's name (like a number of others) is derived from the works of William S. Burroughs: Steely Dan is the name of a steam-powered dildo that appeared in Burroughs' book Naked Lunch. Fagen once explained, "We just wanted to give the band a little more thrust than most other bands."
