Yes, you have:

Squash: "any of various fruits of plants (genus Cucurbita) of the gourd
family
widely cultivated as vegetables"

This includes Cucurbita pepo: field pumpkin, summer squash, zucchini,
vegetable marrow, courgette, acorn squash

For additional members of the Cucurbita genus:

You got me)) I have eaten and cooked zucchini/courgette (same thing
here) but that is all!! None of the rest.

Never had any of the others or come to think of it, never had the
courgettes when I was growing up either.
