LOL! Of course not.
These two names are now used interchangeably by some food writers. The 'Smoothie', a relatively new drink, probably evolved from the 'Frappe or Frappe' (pronounced fra-PAY). In Jonathan Bartlett's "The Cook's Dictionary and Culinary Reference" , he defines "Frappe" as either "a drink composed of a liqueur poured over shaved ice" or as "a dessert of thick fruit juice or syrup frozen until mushy". There is also listed a "Frappe", no accent on the 'e', which is like a milkshake and consists of milk, some form of flavoring, and ice cream, and maybe an egg. The Smoothie seems to combine the best of a Frappe (fruit/juice), with the dairy part of the Frappe (ice cream, yogurt, etc.). 'Smoothie', being defined as a beverage made of pureed fruit and/or juice blended with yogurt, milk or ice cream.
This drink is delicious and a great way to feature all the fresh fruits available during the summer months. Terrific as a breakfast drink alongside a muffin, as it is for dessert on a hot day. A great idea is to serve a variety of different flavored Frappes/Smoothies, in small glasses, with shortbread cookies.
Frappe Day? What the heck, it's Friday...

Here is an amusing news item:

I think I will have two adults Frappes and one child smoothie.
Absinthe reached its peak of popularity and notoriety around the end of the nineteenth century and is now illegal not only in the United States but in Switzerland, the place of its origin. Absinthe is actually a green-hued cordial with aniseed (licorice) flavor. The ingredient that caused all the fuss was wormwood (actually deleterious only when taken in immense doses). Pernod, Abisante, Abson, Anisette, Ojen, and Oxygene are its modern, safe, respectable substitutes.
