'Google' comes from the word 'googol', which is the number 1 followed by one hundred zeros
The term 'googol' was first used in the 1920s, and is a term used in maths. Founded in 1998, the name was chosen because each 0 represents the possibilities of the search results. Good thing they decided on 'Google' and not 'Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle'.
