TIL that Sir William Thomson, the 1st Baron Kelvin, in whose honour the scale for absolute temperatures is named, was Scots-Irish and was knighted by Queen Victoria not for his work in thermodynamics but for his work as an electrical engineer in the sphere electrical telegraphs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil…

Why is William Thomson remembered as Lord Kelvin?

Lord Kelvin was born in 1824, and he was ennobled in 1892, when he was 68 years old. I would assume most of his scientific work would have been produced by then. So when people reference his work, they would have cited "William Thomson" rather than "The Lord Kelvin". So why do we remember him as The Lord Kelvin rather than William Thomson?
