SI prefixes are those used by the International System of Units for standard measurement. They are used to scale base metric system units of measurement like meters and grams, and go all the way from quecto (10-30, or one-nonillionth, denoted with 'q') to quetta (1030, nonillion, denoted with 'Q'). For example, a kilogram is 103 or 1000 grams.
This trope is in play when at least two SI prefixes are used to denote relationships between two things (Spell Levels, power tiers, size, characters, upgraded equipment, you name it). It also allows works to look a little scientific and insert a Sci Fi Name Buzzword or two. Handily, many of these prefixes are frequently encountered in real life, so one can reasonably expect the audience to understand that something named Giga (109) is bigger or stronger than a version of it named Mega (106) or Kilo. Likewise, Nano (10-9) is smaller or weaker than Micro (10-6) or Milli (10-3), even if not by those exact magnitudes.
Subtrope of Tiered by Name; compare Greek Letter Ranks.

Disgaea
The franchise uses SI prefix names to denote spell tiers after the base spell, starting with "Mega" and ending usually with either "Omega" or "Tera". Some of the Updated Rereleases include "Peta" as a final tier.
Makai Kingdom: The game's main character and Badass Freakin' Overlord is named "Zetta". When the Updated Re-release gives Zetta a daughter, the game keeps the Theme Naming by giving her the name "Pet(t)a".

The recurring summon Bahamut has attacks based on the word "Flare" and some big SI prefix. The most common is Mega Flare, but some games have advanced versions of Bahamut capable of "Giga Flare", "Tera Flare" and so on. The most powerful variant seen in a Square Enix game thus far is Zeta Flare/Zettaflare, which has so far only been cast by three characters in the entire Square mythos: Airy from Bravely Default, a servant to a world-eating Eldritch Abomination and effectively a Physical God in their own right, a souped-up Bahamut in Final Fantasy XVI , and Donald Duck.
