Etymology

The word trillion was created in the 1680s, borrowed from French trillion and Italian trilione, which is from tri- ("three") + million ("a thousand thousands"). Originally in British English, the word "trillion" referred to million million millions (while "billion" referred to million millions, which is equal to trillion in American English); however, to many people, the word refers to one thousand billion (1,000,000,000,000) in the present day.

Trillion is often abbreviated as T, t, or tn. Rarer forms include tril, trill, tln, and trn.
