Die Kelvintemperatuurskaal word in sy eer so genooem. Hierdie skaal gebruik [[absolute nul]] as sy nul punt. Al is absolute nul tydens sy lewe al bekend, het hy dit gemeet en 'n waarde van −273.15 degree [[Celsius]] gekry.
Hy kry die titel "Baron Kelvin" in 1892 te erkenis van sy wetenskaplikke werk in [[termodinamika]] en ook vir sy sy teenkanting teen Ierse selfregering (''Home Rule''). Die naam "Kelvin" lui af die Kelvin-rivier wat langsaan sy labratorium by die [[Universiteit van Glasgow]] gevloei het.<ref>[http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/158/1/011001 Kelvin and Ireland] Raymond Flood, Mark McCartney and Andrew Whitaker (2009) J.

<!-- Despite offers of elevated posts from several world-renowned universities Lord Kelvin refused to leave Glasgow, remaining Professor of [[Physics|Natural Philosophy]] for over 50 years, until his eventual retirement from that post. The [[Hunterian Museum]] at the [[University of Glasgow]] has a permanent exhibition on the work of Lord Kelvin including many of his original papers, instruments and other artifacts such as his smoking pipe.-->
