No. Must be a convention depending on cultural context of locality.
("kph", if anything, is "kilopond-hour, per standard.)

So thanks for pointing that out. (I forget sometimes that in some
countries there's a reluctance using the [established] standards,
and I certainly don't know about all the cultural peculiarities of
the [many] existing countries, even if they are as dominating as
the USA is [or other English speaking or influenced countries].)

We're used to the SI units and metric form, although hereabouts
some folks also (informally, but wrongly) pronounce it as "k-m-h".
