That is, an honorific title. Eg force is cited in Newtons, charge in Coulombs, etc, as opposed to kilograms.. Generically "m" seems to be used as a symbol I guess but it overlaps with generic references to mass.
eg
F = ma
is usually taken as referring to mass per se not inertia. But it would make a lot more sense to me, if it was actually referring to inertia instead. One could define a unit of inertia, as a sort of inverse Newton, and use that instead eg if Z is one inverse Newton it leads to
F = Za
where a is the acceleration still.
