Yes. I think antilog name used to be more common in engineering, and commonly referred to 10^x rather than e^x. Some calculators even had a log^-1 button.
Neat Google Ngram for it at https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=antilog&year_s... showing a peak for "antilog" in 1976, decreasing now to prewar usage of 25% that of peak.
