No, the first edition of ECMAScript (1997 CE) was based on Netscape 
JavaScript 1.1 *and* Microsoft JScript 1.0.

All JavaScripts and JScripts in common use today, at least, are 
implementations of ECMAScript Edition 3 (1999/2000) or later.  (The most 
recent implemented Edition is Edition 9 of 2018.)
