A: They are the same, said Glenn Burns, chief meteorologist for WSB-TV. It became Celsius in 1948 because centigrade, meaning 100 degrees, also was a unit of measurement in the French and Spanish languages. Celsius is named after Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who invented the centigrade scales.Dec 20, 2009
