No. The reason why Thirumangai aazhvaar has a vEl is as follows:

After thirumangai aazhvaar became a Vaishnavite, he undertook a pilgrimage

of the divya desams. When he came back and went through his home town area,

all the people there paid great respect to him. A naayanmaar who was in

the town was amazed by this and he challenged aazhvaar to a debate and

aazhvaar won. The naayanmaar presented the aazhvaar with a vEl on this

occasion. That is why aazhvaar carries the vEL and is called kaliyan

 

Varadhan
