I don’t think so. After all, what exactly is the size of a king? Apart from bed frames and mattresses where the term has been standardized, “king size” is little more than a hackneyed expression vaguely associated with “bigger than normal”.

No, In marketing, king-size is from 1939, originally of cigarettes

It’s passed into everyday usage.
