The current word commonly used to denote the frequency number of an abject that has a frequncy is "Hertz", after a European scientist of the same name.

Hertz is usually shortened to Hz and represents the old C.P.S.(meaning Cycles Per Second) used in the United States until the late 1960's when "Hertz" or Hz was adopted to replace C.P.S. by general assent among various scientists across the globe.
