Mega = million. There is an international organization which looks at weights and measures, called Bureau Poids et Measures, BIPM, and they decide on the names for multiples and sub-multiples. Which today go up as far as 10-24 or 1024, I think. You can check with your favourite search engine.

Mega means big or large in Greek.
