Kelvin is an SI unit and not a degree of temperature. Celsius is a degree of Kelvin. Kelvin's scale begins at absolute 0. Celsius is scaled equally to Kelvin (1 degree celsius= 1 Kelvin) but begins at 273 K which is when water freezes (0 degrees Celsius).

Both means the same. Anders Celsius called his proposed scale 'Centigrade', but the name was officially changed in 1948.

Yes they are. However note that Celsius is the surname of the person who invented the scale. The scale is often named after him in memory.
