Just like the Fahrenheit symbol, both scales were named after their inventors, Anders Celsius and Daniel Fahrenheit. It became custom to simply use the first letter of their last names as the symbol for the scale. Since everyone capitalizes their initials and their names, the symbols for the scales are capitalized also.

Do you capitalize Fahrenheit in a sentence?
Yes, for several reasons, one of which is that "Metric" (SI) units named after a real person (and aren't "derived" units) keep capitalisation in honour of those scientists, and Celsius was a real scientist. Also, lower case "c'' is used for other things ( for instance, c. short for "circa" or about, as in approximately, also c (in Italic script) the constant for speed of light).AnswerThe above answer isn't wholly correct. The SI convention is that all units (base or derived) are written entirely in lower-case letters. Those units named in honour of someone (usually a scientist) use a capitalised symbol. For example, the SI unit for energy is written in full as joule, but its symbol is J. On the other hand, the metre, isn't named in honour of anyone, so its symbol is a lower-case m.Although Celsius is a metric unit, it is notactually an SI unit, so the above rule does not necessarily apply and, traditionally, it has always been written in full with a capital letter. It's also worth noting that, when written as a symbol, the degree symbol is retained -this is not the case for the SI unit of temperature, the kelvin (symbol: K).
