Not in NZ.
A dynamo is (usually - see below) DC, and alternator is AC, although
it may be rectified to DC subsequently (as in a car).
"Generator" is a more generic description which can encompass both
although it seems more DC orientated in automotive use & AC orientated
in power stations etc.

(& Then there were the old wheel driven bycycle dynamos - which were
AC, just to proove me wrong !)
