   George Ohm, I believe, a Frenchman.  Contemporary of Faraday.  He did
experiments which showed, at least for the metals he was working with,
the voltage was proportional to the current.  Sometime later (around
1895 +/- units like the ohm, watt, volt, henry, and ampere were named
for famous scientists of earlier times.

Georg Simon Ohm was a German physicist who stated the relationship between 
voltage and current in metallic conductors at normal temperatures in 1826.
