The term "billion" is used in both English and Chinese to refer to the number 1,000,000,000 (one thousand million). It comes from the Old French word "billion," which in turn comes from the Italian "bilione," which is a combination of the words "bi-" (meaning "two") and "lione" (meaning "lion"). The original meaning of "billion" referred to a million million (1,000,000 x 1,000,000), but over time the meaning has changed to refer to 1,000,000,000.
