Alexandre Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo”: Is protagonist, Edmond Dantès, hypnotized by fellow prisoner, named after real-life hypnotist, Abbé Faria?

I have not yet begun this 1243-page novel (1), and besides the name “Abbé Faria” (2, 3), the only clue I have is that Dumas also wrote a novel called “The Mesmerist's Victim” (mesmerism is hypnosis).
