I don't think so.  The river is actually called "Tigris" (that's the
spanish version, and the version that generates more results in Google,
althought I admit that the english transliteration may be different).

Tigres is the spanish plural for "tiger", and of course it keeps the
play on "-gres" while suggesting some kind of power (and speed?).  But I
think Bruce should be actually better informed than me as to what was
the origin of the word suggestion in the first place.
