Have you ever wondered what is the meaning of Google? Where did the name google come from? What does google stand for? Google is the name of internet’s most popular search engine and the word Google is derived from GOOGOL.

Why is Google Called Google?

Googol is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, “Mathematics and the Imagination” by Kasner and James Newman. Google’s play on the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.”

Goooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,

    Thanks for your site…I was just searching for how ‘Googol’ was really spelled. I’d been meaning to look it up for over a zillion years now and have just had gotten around to doing it!! Now, I must go and find the origins of the ‘Powers of 10′ from IBM. Back to the past and on into the future… so long, SuperMarc
