He did a lot of steam engine work, and since they are sources of power, it is fitting that a power unit is named after him. Pretty much, a way to honor him.
The watts were named after James Watt... actually I'mm lieing :)
Watts are named after James Watt, a Scottish inventor and engineer who made significant contributions to the development of the steam engine. The unit of power was named in his honor to recognize his impact on the field of engineering and technology.
James Watt did not invent watts. The watt is a unit of power named after James Watt, a Scottish engineer who made significant contributions to the development of the steam engine. The watt is defined as one joule of energy per second.
The watt was named after James Watt. The term watt in electric appliances refers the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and therefore is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent energy per unit time. An example; when a light bulb with a power rating of 100W is turned on for one hour, the energy used is 100 watt hours (The watt second is a unit of energy, equal to the joule).
James Watt had three children: two sons named James Watt Jr. and John Watt, and a daughter named Mary Watt. His family played a significant role in his life, especially as he navigated his career as an inventor and engineer.
James Watt's full name is James Gaius Watt.

James Watt had 4 kids.They are Janet Watt , James Watt Junior , Gregory Watt and Margaret Watt.
The SI unit of power, the watt, is named after James Watt, for his contributions to the development of the steam engine. The symbol for watts is a capital W. The watt is a derived unit, equal to 1 joule of energy per second, a rate of conversion of energy. In electricity, 1 watt is 1 ampere at 1 volt (watts = amps X volts).
