Zillion

English word name

"indeterminately large number"

Zillion Origin and Meaning

The name Zillion is a boy's name meaning "indeterminately large number".

Nick Cannon put this baby name on the map in 2021 when he welcomed a son by the name Zillion Heir (Zillionaire, get it?) — twin to Zion Mixolydian. Zillion is a new addition to the growing trend of numerical -illion names — Million, Billion, Trillion, and even Amillion currently chart for boys.

As a word, Zillion has only existed since 1942, when it was used in Billboard Magazine. Unlike the aforementioned -illion names, it has no real numerical value. Zillion is used in a colloquial sense to refer to extremely large numbers, similar to "jillion" or "gazillion," both of which may attract parents now that Zillion has opened the doors.
