Zetta is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 1021 or 1000000000000000000000. The prefix was added as an SI prefix to the International System of Units (SI) in 1991 and has the symbol Z.
Zetta is evocative of the Latin numeral septem, meaning seven. Therefore it was used to denote the seventh power of 1000.[1]
A prefix of the same value, hepta, was informally introduced a few years before the promulgation of zetta. It was formed from the Greek ἑπτά, (hepta), also meaning seven. Hepta never received official sanction and is obsolete. Zeta (Ζήτα), although being the 6th letter of the Greek alphabet, denotes a value of seven (7) when used as a numeral.
Examples:
Les noms zepto et zetta évoquent le chiffre sept (septième puissance de 103) et la lettre « z » remplace la lettre « s » pour éviter le double emploi de la lettre « s » comme symbole. The names zepto and zetta are evocative of the numeral sept (seventh power of 103) and the letter 'z' is substituted for the letter 's' to avoid the duplicate use of the letter 's' as a symbol.
