A few.  It's "exa", not "eta", and the one after that is "peta".
I think your "eta" must be the result of a mental merger between
"exa" and "peta".

The next levels are "zepto" and "yocto" for 1E-21 and 1E-24, and
"zetta" and "yotta" for 1E21 and 1E24.  These are obviously
Anglicized French for "seven" and "eight".
