Supra- is the prefix that means above or beyond. In anatomy, it’s used to indicate a position that is above another structure, which is exactly what supraorbital conveys—the area above the orbit (the eye socket). That precise sense of location makes supra- the best fit for describing something located higher than another part.

The other prefixes aren’t about vertical position: super- also means above but is more general or comparative in everyday usage and in some medical terms can imply superiority; circum- means around, and peri- means around or surrounding. None of these express the idea of being above in the same anatomical way as supra-.
