So how do we get lb for pound and oz for ounce? Lb is an abbreviation of the Latin word libra. We got the word pound in English from the pondo part of the libra pondo but our abbreviation comes from the libra.

The Italian lira also used that symbol (with two lines through it), the word lira itself being a shortened version of libra. Ounce is related to the Latin uncia, the name for both the Roman ounce and inch units of measurement.
