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.”

  8. Tim says:

    My 75 year old dad who rarely uses computers and does many criptic crosswords thought that the “google” name was a play on two words:
    go ogle

    ogle definition according to http://www.merriam-webster.com:

    intransitive verb : to glance with amorous invitation or challenge
    transitive verb
    1 : to eye amorously or provocatively
    2 : to look at especially with greedy or interested attention

    I don’t believe this is where it came from but interesting none the less.
