The tesla is named after Nikola Tesla. As with every SI unit named for a person, its symbol starts with an upper case letter (T), but when written in full, it follows the rules for capitalisation of a common noun; i.e., tesla becomes capitalised at the beginning of a sentence and in titles but is otherwise in lower case.
Symbol Meaning SI unit of measure magnetic vector potential: tesla meter (T⋅m) area: square meter (m 2) amplitude: meter: atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density
T, the symbol for "True" in logic; T, the usual symbol for period, the reciprocal of frequency; T, the symbol for Tesla, the SI unit of magnetic field; t, the SI symbol for tonne or metric ton; t, the usual symbol for time; t, the angular coordinate of the polar coordinate system (usually ϕ or θ) is sometimes denoted by t
Latin and Greek letters are used in mathematics, science, engineering, and other areas where mathematical notation is used as symbols for constants, special functions, and also conventionally for variables representing certain quantities.

Two of the base SI units and 17 of the derived units are named after scientists. [2] 28 non-SI units are named after scientists. By this convention, their names are immortalised. As a rule, the SI units are written in lowercase letters, but symbols of units derived from the name of a person begin with a capital letter.
"The kelvin, symbol K, is the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to be 1.380 649 × 10 −23 when expressed in the unit J K −1, which is equal to kg m 2 s −2 K −1, where the kilogram, metre and second are defined in terms of h, c and ∆ν Cs."

Tesla most commonly refers to: Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), a Serbian-American electrical engineer and inventor; Tesla, Inc., an American electric vehicle and clean energy company, formerly Tesla Motors, Inc. Tesla (unit) (symbol: T), the SI-derived unit of magnetic flux density; Tesla may also refer to:
