Yes, that is the official name of it in France, because that is the principal use of it -- to spread on the entrance to a snail shell after putting the snail inside and before popping everything into the oven until it all starts bubbling and perfuming the entire house.

Garlic bread is unknown to the French, but when it is served to them in the U.S., they generally recognize that Americans serve snail butter on bread but forget to serve the snails.
