I agree with all that, although I remember referring to GHz as gc (as in
2.1 gee-cee for 2.1 GHz).
My profs only knew Hertz as a radio pioneer... not a term... and my
textbooks as well (still have them).

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I think I remember the terms and
abbreviations were:
Microfarads (mf) as in "a 0.1mf wax impregnated paper condenser"
Micromicrofarads (mmf) as in a "3-section 365mmf air variable condenser
for the TRF receiver.
As I recall, it generally was kilocycles (kc or kcs) through ten meters,
and thereafter megacycles (mc or mcs) up to what is now known as 1GHz
(which was called a kilomegacycle [kmcs]). Anything above a few
kilomegacycles hadn't been invented yet.
I have learned to begin with "I think I remember," because often I
really don't remember.
