Is there a part of DHCP that registers hostnames for a local DNS server?

I have a DNS server running on a piece of hardware (home AIO router) but this could be any piece of hardware. It allows me to reach other UNIX machines on the network via their hostname; presumably by simply registering them via DHCP or something.

I am familar with Bonjour and friends but I don't think that's in play here.

I tried to finding extensions and reading the RFC but I can't find things that let people register their hostnames via DHCP.

Is that a thing?
