Because the scale was devised by Fahrenheit.
The units on a Fahrenheit thermometer are called degrees Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit (symbol °F) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), after whom the scale is named.
A Fahrenheit thermometer measures temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, which is a scale commonly used in the United States. It is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.
The Fahrenheit temperature scale was named after its creator, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a physicist and engineer who developed the scale in the early 18th century. He based his scale on three reference points: the freezing point of a brine solution, the average human body temperature, and the freezing point of water.
The freezing point of water is called 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Fahrenheit scale is not absolute and also is obsolete.The absolute scale is Kelvin.
i think it's just called the fahrenheit system.
