Usage

The correct spelling is millennium not millenium. The latter is a common error, formed by analogy with other similar words correctly spelled with only one n, such as millenarian and millenary. The differences in spelling are explained by different origins. Millennium was formed by analogy with words like biennium, while millenary and millenarian were formed from the Latin milleni.

Origin

Mid 17th century: modern Latin, from Latin mille 'thousand', on the pattern of biennium.

million from Late Middle English:
In Latin mille means ‘a thousand’—as in mile and millennium (mid 17th century). In million, the thousand got multiplied by itself. This seems to have happened in Italian, where the word millione (now milione) was formed. In 1956 Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm enjoyed great success with the duet ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ from Cole Porter's High Society. The answer in the song is ‘I don't’, but the television company ITV found that they were in a small minority when they introduced the quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in September 1998. Thousands have applied to be contestants and millions have been won; the show has given several catchphrases to the language, including ‘phone a friend’ and ‘ is that your final answer?’ The top prize in the British show is a million pounds, but the first millionaires had a thousand French francs. The poet Lord Byron wrote in a letter in 1816: ‘He is still worth at least 50-000 pds—being what is called here a “Millionaire” that is in Francs and such Lilliputian coinage, introducing the word to English.’
