Sorry. I did not see it. Thanks.
For additional interest, the official SI website mentions Celsius:
http://www1.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter2/2-2/2-2-2.html
Elsewhere it describes the choice of name:
*******************************
9th CGPM, 1948, Resolution 7: adoption of "degree Celsius"
From three names ("degree centigrade", "centesimal degree", "degree
