Nope, the prefix milli means one thousandth. One millionth is a microsecond, because all this stuff is Greek to English speakers.

No, milliseconds means a thousandth of a second. A millionth of a second is called a microsecond and a billionth of a second is called a nanosecond

As already stated, the prefix "milli" means one thousand. This is also the root word for our Mile. The roman mile was measured as a thousand paces.
