The term decibel is named for Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone. It was developed as a measurement for audio signals. You have probably heard of noise levels expressed in decibelsconversations at about 60 dB, the sound of a jet plane passing overhead or a loud rock concert at around 120 dB. The same term works for audio power, radio signal power, optical power and many other measurements of signals that have large dynamic ranges.
