Yes - but apparently he was known as 'family man' or 'fams' before any of them were born.
I've heard it's connected to his leadership role in the Wailers 'sound'.
Marley did the lyrics and Family man arranged the tunes.

Saw Steve at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2004. Continually did things his way. The festival had a couple of handy headliners in the Who and David Bowie in what turned out to be his last ever U.K. gig.
