No, it doesn't, Great Britain is specifically the name of the island Using "Great Britain" as a synonym for "the United Kingdom" is common, but incorrect

There was a period of time, from 1707 to 1801, when there was a "Kingdom of Great Britain" that was coterminous with the island of Great Britain (although, as is often the case, the Kingdom also included several smaller islands around the big one)
