A millennium is a period of 1,000 years, derived from the Latin words "mille" (thousand) and "annus" (year). Millennia represent the longest commonly used time periods in human timekeeping and are essential for understanding vast spans of history, geological time, and long-term planning. The third millennium AD began on January 1, 2001. Millennia help us comprehend human civilization's development, major historical epochs, and extremely long-term trends. In scientific contexts, millennia are often abbreviated as "ka" (kilo-annum) when referring to thousands of years ago.
Converting millennia to years is straightforward:
There are exactly 1,000 years in one millennium. The word comes from Latin "mille" (thousand) and "annus" (year).
To convert millennia to years, multiply the number of millennia by 1,000. For example, 2 millennia × 1,000 = 2,000 years.
The third millennium (3rd millennium AD) officially began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 3000. Many people incorrectly celebrated the new millennium on January 1, 2000.
The correct plural of millennium is "millennia," though "millenniums" is also acceptable in English.
There are 10 centuries in one millennium (1,000 years ÷ 100 = 10 centuries).
