||a|| in general means the "norm" of a. And most commonly it means the Euclidean norm of the vector a. You could say "the geometric length of a" or also "the magnitude of a" to refer to the same concept.
However, there are many other norms that can be used to measure vectors, as well as norms that can be used to measure different sorts of objects entirely.
