In the system of [[Greek numerals]], lambda has a value of 30. The ancient [[Alexandrine grammarians|grammarians]] typically called it {{lang|grc|λάβδα}} ({{transliteration|grc|lắbdă}}, {{IPA|grc|lábda|}}) in [[Classical Greek]] times,<ref>Herbert Weir Smyth. ''A Greek Grammar for Colleges''. [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0007 I.1.c]</ref> whereas in [[Modern Greek]] it is {{lang|el|λάμδα}} ({{transliteration|el|lámda}}, {{IPA|el|ˈlamða|}}), while the spelling {{lang|grc|λάμβδα}} ({{transliteration|el|lámbda}}) was used (to varying degrees) throughout the lengthy transition between the two.

In [[Epichoric alphabets|early Greek alphabets]], the shape and orientation of lambda varied.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://poinikastas.csad.ox.ac.uk/browseGlyphs.shtml|title=Epigraphic Sources for Early Greek Writing|website=Poinikastas.CSAD.ox.ac.uk|access-date=2011-10-03}}</ref> Most variants consisted of two straight strokes, one longer than the other, connected at their ends. The angle might be in the upper-left, lower-left ("Western" alphabets) or top ("Eastern" alphabets). Other variants had a vertical line with a horizontal or sloped stroke running to the right. With the general adoption of the [[History of the Greek alphabet#Standardization – the Ionic alphabet|Ionic alphabet]], Greek settled on an angle at the top; the Romans put the angle at the lower-left.

===Litra symbol===
The [[Roman units|Roman]] {{lang|la|libra}} and [[Byzantine units|Byzantine]] {{lang|grc-x-medieval|lítra}} ({{lang|grc-x-medieval|λίτρα}}), which served as both the pound mass unit and liter volume unit, were abbreviated in Greek using lambda with modified forms of the [[iota subscript]] ⟨λͅ⟩. These are variously encoded in Unicode. The [[Ancient Greek Numbers (Unicode block)|Ancient Greek Numbers]] [[Unicode block]] includes 10183 {{sc|greek litra sign}} (𐆃) as well as 𐅢, which is described as 10162 {{sc|greek acrophonic hermionian ten}}<ref>[https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10140.pdf Unicode Ancient Greek Numbers block].</ref> but was much more common as a form of the litra sign. A variant of the sign can be formed from 0338 {{sc|combining long solidus overlay}} and either 039B {{sc|greek capital letter lamda}} (Λ̸) or 03BB {{sc|greek small letter lamda}} (λ̸).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/encoding/BCM2010.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716030016/http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/encoding/BCM2010.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-07-16 |title=Thesaurus Linguae Graecae |website=Stephanus.TLG.UCI.edu }}</ref>

==Unicode==
Unicode uses the (Modern Greek-based) spelling "lamda" in character names, instead of "lambda", due to "the pre-existing names in ISO 8859-7, as well as preferences expressed by the Greek National Body".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2010-m06/0063.html|title = Unicode Mail List Archive: RE: Greek letter "LAMDA"?}}</ref> Latin versions of lambda were added to Unicode in 2024 for the [[Salishan languages|Salishan]] and [[Wakashan languages]] in [[Canada]].<ref>{{cite web|title=L2/23-191: Proposal to Encode 3 Additional Latin Characters for Wakashan and Salishan Languages to the Unicode Standard|date=2023-07-17|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2023/23191-three-latin-additions.pdf|first1=Robyn|last1=Humchitt|first2=Denis|last2=Jacquerye|first3=Kevin|last3=King}}</ref>
