The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol,"which refers to 10100 (a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros). Google has had a major impact on online culture. |

Google derived its name from the word "googol", a term coined by then nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, nephew of the American mathematician Edward Kasner. The story goes, Kasner had asked his nephew to invent a name for a very large number - ten to the power of one hundred (the numeral one followed by 100 zeros), and Milton called it a googol. The term was later made popular and in Kasner's book, Mathematics and the Imagination, which he co-authored wtih James Newman. Later, another mathematician invented the term "googolplex", which represents ten to the power of a googol - a substantially larger number.
therefore because google is such a big network and is used by mmillions maybe billions of people they simply named it google |

The word googol means a 1 followed by 100 zeroes, but they could not use that so they spelled it differently (kind of like Kool cigarettes). |

As mentioned previously before, Google is a big number, greater than the number of particles in the known universe...billions of billions of times over!
I recall there are two reasons why this name was chosen.
1) Simple. It fits the culture and appearance of their company.
2) The large number is a reflection of their power, knoweldge, accessibility, possibility, and potential. |
