This is correct. A menorah is a general term for candelabra, a hanukkiah (pron. hah-nu-KEE-ah) is the specific type candelabra used for the holiday Hanukah ceremony. A hanukkiah has 8 lower candles and 1 upper candle (the shamas) for counting the 8 days of hanukah. That said, the terms are pretty interchangeable in modern times.
I had an uncle tell me this at hanukah decades ago and I thought it was a “fun fact.” Every hanukkiah is a menorah, but not every menorah is a hanukkiah. Y’know?
