I certainly could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if that's the reason for the name, since she JKR received the award in absentia.
Sorry I didn't know which book. However, think the controversy on her winning is stupid because while her books are read by more than the typical fantasy/scifi audience, her books, 7 excluded, are fairly good.

I was theorizing, I didn't say that was the definite reason for the name Hugo.
