According to one website, "'lb' is an abbreviation for the Latin word libra, which is the seventh sign of the zodiac and is symbolized by scales. The word libra referred to balance or scales in Roman times and was also part of a unit of measurement known as 'libra pondo,' which when translated is 'pound weight' or 'a pound by weight.'"
