Sort of.

The movie was originally released simply as "Star Wars", but Lucas wanted to use that as the overall title of the series, so when it was re-released it became "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope."

The later movies were released as episode titles from the beginning, but frankly IV has the lamest episode title in the series by at least an order of magnitude and would have been hard to market ("The Empire Strikes Back," for example, is a little vague but at least sounds like it might be an action movie. "A New Hope" sounds like a documentary on adoption or something).
