Yes.

The official way is to type "M-x kill-emacs RET". (But in general, if
you use the "client" icon, the assumption is that you don't want to do
that. rather, leave the Emacs process running and use the client icon
to open a new frame next time you want to do something in Emacs --
this way, you keep all the history and the buffers inside the
session, and the startup will be faster.)
