The word مِلْيُون is part of a group of numbers in Arabic that are considered 'loanwords' from European languages, unlike the much older, indigenous numbers like 'thousand' (أَلْف).
In some Levantine dialects, the word مِلْيُون can be used colloquially to mean 'a great deal' of something, such as 'a million thanks' (مِلْيُون شُكْر), which is a very common way to express deep gratitude.
When writing large checks or legal documents in Arabic, the word مِلْيُون is often written out in full letters to prevent any possibility of fraudulent tampering with the digits.
