Yes, you can search by label, for example:

SELECT distinct ?item ?itemLabel ?itemDescription WHERE{  
  ?item ?label "Something"@en.  
  ?article schema:about ?item .
  ?article schema:inLanguage "en" .
  ?article schema:isPartOf . 
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }    
}

see it on Query page.
