Kilo is 10^3 or 1000 while milli is 10^ -3 or 0.001 That is the
difference

1 mm = 1 millimeter = 1000th of a meter
1 mA = 1 milliampere = 1000th of an Ampere
1 mW = 1 milliwatt = 1000th of a Watt
1 mT = 1 millitesla = 1000th of a Tesla
1 mil (shorthand) = 1 milli-inch = 1000th of an inch
This mil has nothing to do with million

And it probably has its origin in Latin. I do know that one thousand in
the Spanish language is un mil when speaking of quantities. However, it
is Kilo when speaking of weights and measures. Strange.
