Yes, radio found out naming is hard before software did, in very old times there was High Frequency (HF), but then circuits got fast enough to go higher, oops, ok no problem, let's call the new frequencies Very High Frequency (VHF) whew that was close, but wait they got even faster! Ugh! Ok let's call the new frequencies Ultra High Frequency (UHF), but wait, we're still not in the Ghz range yet! Thankfully they did not keep going to Super Super Mega Ultra High Frequency.

3–30 Hz Extremely low frequency

30–300 Hz Super low frequency

300–3000 Hz Ultra low frequency

3–30 kHz Very low frequency

30–300 kHz Low frequency

300 kHz – 3 MHz Medium frequency

3–30 MHz High frequency

30–300 MHz Very high frequency

300 MHz – 3 GHz Ultra high frequency

3-30 GHz Super high frequency

30–300 GHz Extremely high frequency

300 GHz – 3 THz Tremendously high frequency

They should have started adopting olive size factors.

After Ultra High, we could have had Jumbo, Colossal, Super Colossal. and Mammoth frequency ranges.

Not to be confused with Colossal wavelengths, which is what we could have used if we need to fiddle around below Extremely Low frequencies..

So you've heard of USB?

Television resolutions appear to be on the same naming path.

Oh, they're much worse[1]. Is 4k 3840x2160 or 4096x2160? That's right, it's both! And 4096x2048! And 4096x4096! And about half a dozen other resolutions, many of which have no dimension of 4000 or 4096 pixels.

Uhm.. Super High Frequency (SHF) and Extremely High Frequency (EHF) would like to have a word.

Though yes in my experience, at those frequencies people stop using ITU designations, and switch to IEEE (S,C,X-band etc).

Ahaha that's even better, I had no idea, love it!
