What does ns mean in a metric such as spans.duration.ns.p90?

First it isn't clear to me what units the various timeseries in a metric are returning.  It feels pretty arbitrary to me.  I was wondering if perhaps the ns portion of a metric stood for nanoseconds?  That would at least make it this more clear.  But I suppose it could also stand for namespace.

Yes, in this case "ns" means nanosecond.
