In the army, a Lt General thus is a rank just below that of a General. Yes there is a confusion, no doubt, but the root comes from one being a second to the rank of a General and the other (Major General), being senior to a Brig General.
First Lieutenant is a military rank and, in some forces, an appointment. The rank of Lieutenant has different meanings in different military formations (see comparative military ranks), but the majority of cases it is common for it to be sub-divided into a senior (First Lieutenant) and junior (Second Lieutenant) rank. second lieutenant (grade O-1) is usually promoted to first lieutenant (grade O-2) after 18 months in the Army or 24 months in the Air Force and Marine Corps.
