Many scientists have been recognized with the assignment of their names as international units by the International Committee for Weights and Measures or as non-SI units.
The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from French: Système international d'unités) is the most widely used system of units of measurement.
[2] 28 non-SI units are named after scientists.
As a rule, the SI units are written in lowercase letters, but symbols of units derived from the name of a person begin with a capital letter.
