What does Google mean?
Google is a misspelling of a real life mathematical term, Googol.
The name “Google” actually came from a graduate student at Stanford named Sean Anderson.
Anderson suggested the word “googolplex” during a brainstorming session, and Larry Page replied with the shortest “googol.”
The name of Google is derived from the number googol, which is equal to the number 1 followed by 100 zeros (1 x 10¹⁰⁰).
And Backrub was the original name for the search engine until Sergey Brin and Larry Page rebranded the company as Google, Inc.
Googol is the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes.
Googolplex is the number 10googol, or equivalently, 10(10100). Written out in ordinary decimal notation, it is 1 followed by 10100 zeroes, that is, a 1 followed by a googol zeroes.
The term was coined in 1920 by 9 year old Milton Sirotta (1911–1981), nephew of U.S. mathematician Edward Kasner.
