Does the fathers name on a birth certificate make a child legitimate?

No. The status of being legitimate refers to a child born to parents who are legally married. In the past, a child born out of wedlock was at a legal disadvantage regarding inheritance from her/his father and other rights. That status is no longer significant in the United States since Supreme Court decisions in the 1970s abolished the bars to inheritance.
The term term has negative connotations and has fallen out of use.
