Answer: Yes, Celsius and Centigrade are the same temperature scale. It's just a lucky coincidence that they both start with "c". The scientist responsible for this scale was Celsius. He named the scale centigrade because there are 100 (centi-) degrees (grades) from freezing to boiling. Later on, it was decided to use his name for the scale, just as Fahrenheit and Kelvin are so honored.
