I don't think so.
I am learning from this thread so much fascinating stuff about American usage that I didn't know before!
Here is The Mall in London. (Pronounced to rhyme with "shall" rather than "wall".) It's a processional route to Buckingham Palace.

There is also a street called
Pall Mall.

The name of the street is derived from "pall mall", a mallet-and-ball game that was played there during the 17th century.
