Sorry... but I believe Trillian was a female character from the Hitchhikers Guide....Incorrectly called Billion by some
Billion = 10^9 = 1000,000,000 (Million Million)
see http://www-personal.umich.edu/~rcnh/gs102/SI_prefixes.html
footnote 1 says it all
In German it's even different from what is described in the link. We very regularly
say million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillian, trilliard, etc.
