Resistance is the name given to something which opposes the flow of an electrical current in a circuit and an ohmmeter is used to measure it.

The Ohm is the name of the unit used to measure resistance.

Further note

The most common type of instrument used to measure resistance is a multimeter, which includes an ohmmeter, an ammeter to measure the current flow in amps and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference in volts.
