No. In America, at least, the liberalism of the 19th century had already been relegated to "classical" liberalism. Liberalism refers to FDR's modern liberalism (aka social liberalism or social justice liberalism).
Neo-liberalism is a confusing term with at least two meanings, neither of which really match classical liberalism. Reaganism comes closer, whereas Clintonism is unrelated.

Neoliberal literally translates to "new-age liberal".. if you are refering to new-age liberals as opposed to classical liberals I think its a fine term, albeit a bit general.
Empiricism
I think we need a better term than neoliberalism. From what I've read, that was the rights terminology.

That article describes two distinct definitions and explicitly contrasts them.
"Unrelated to the economic philosophy described in this article, the term "neoliberalism" is also used to describe a center-left political movement from modern American liberalism in the 1970s."
The actual meaning refers to "the economic policies introduced by Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan in the United States".
The unrelated meaning, used by conservative David Brooks to attack liberals, applies to " Al Gore and Bill Clinton of the Democratic Party of the United States". At this point, this slur is favored by the far left, as part of their program of both-siderism.
That's why I have to ask you what you mean by neoliberalism: Reagan or Clinton?
