''கிலோகிராம்'' (''kilogramme'' or ''kilogram'') எனும் சொல் பிரான்சிய மொழியிலிருந்து கொண்டுவரப்பட்ட சொல்லாகும் (பிரான்சிய சொல் ''kilogramme''). இது பிரான்சு மொழிக்கு கிரேக்கத்திலிருந்து வந்தது. ''ஆயிரம்'' எனும் கருத்தைத் தரக்கூடிய "''χίλιοι''" (''சிளியோய்'', ஆங்கிலம் ''chilioi'') எனும் சொல்லும், ''ஒரு சிறியளவு'' நிறை எனும் கருத்தைத் தரக்கூடிய "''γράμμα''" (''கிரம்மா'', ஆங்கிலம் ''gramma'') இணைந்ததால் பெறப்பட்ட சொல்லாகும்.<ref>{{cite book
