Yes! Norman / French vs. Anglo-Saxon names. As I understand it, it's because of class divisions during the formation of our current language. Basically, Anglo laborers farmed most, so their name the Anglo "cow" stuck, while French did more of the eating, hence the French "beef."

Same logic holds for the other meat names. Living animals tend to have names with Old English origins, and the meats they produce have names with Old French origins.
