Centigrade is a more accurate name for it. Cent=100 grade = root
for gradient => scale. Centigrade means 100 gradients between
freezing and boiling, or where liquid water changes to solid and where
liquid water becomes gaseous.
Celcius makes no sense. I owe nothing to that swede, whoever he was.

Why do you quote the temperatures in Centigrade and not
Fahrenheit?
Maybe because he is a sensible fellow and recognizes a good idea

And the currently correct name is "Celsius", named after the
Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius who developed a similar
temperature scale in the 1700s
