How did Google get its name?

Stanford student Sean Anderson (Sean Anderson) to the Google search engine and Google the names to bring Google founders Larry Page (Larry Page). Anderson and Paige was sitting in the office, trying to come up with a good name, and a huge amount of data to index the name.

Anderson said a "googol" the term refers to the power of 10 to 100 (square), written in the form to the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, on the Internet can be used to represent the mass of available resources. Anderson was sitting in front of the computer on which the Internet domain name registration database search a bit to see if this new think out of the name is registered and has not been used. Anderson made a spelling mistake, he put in the search word play into "google. Com", he found that the domain can be used.

Google comes from the math term "googol", which is a 1 with 100 zeros after it, which brags about the immense info on it. The search engine "Google" was originaly called "Back Rub" (I have no idea why).

Yes it has the name google came from the word "googol" which refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros but it is their choice thata athey turn it to google because it is the common spelling of the world

The search engine 'Google' is derived from the words 'Go' and 'ogle' due to the internet being full of rude images and the vast majority of users seeking them, the owners of Google decided to put Go and Ogle together to form google. Pretty apt isn't it?

I read or hear stories of the origin of the search engine and company name "Google" that are incorrect, which prompts me to write this brief account, based on my understanding of the genesis of the name. The source of my information is my friends and colleagues from Wing 3B of the Gates Computer Science Building at Stanford University, where Google was born.

In 1996, Larry Page and Sergey Brin called their initial search engine "BackRub," named for its analysis of the web's "back links." Larry's office was in room 360 of the Gates CS Building, which he shared with several other graduate students, including Sean Anderson, Tamara Munzner, and Lucas Pereira. In 1997, Larry and his office mates discussed a number of possible new names for the rapidly improving search technology. Sean recalls the final brainstorming session as occurring one day during September of that year.

Sean and Larry were in their office, using the whiteboard, trying to think up a good name - something that related to the indexing of an immense amount of data. Sean verbally suggested the word "googolplex," and Larry responded verbally with the shortened form, "googol" (both words refer to specific large numbers). Sean was seated at his computer terminal, so he executed a search of the Internet domain name registry database to see if the newly suggested name was still available for registration and use. Sean is not an infallible speller, and he made the mistake of searching for the name spelled as "google.com," which he found to be available. Larry liked the name, and within hours he took the step of registering the name "google.com" for himself and Sergey (the domain name registration record dates from September 15, 1997).

It actually got its name from the number googol, which is a one followed by a hundred zeros. The number was made to show how numbers can be so big yet so far from infinity. The man who made this number had a son who originally can up with the name.

1997. Google.com is registered as a domain on September 15. The name—a play on the word "googol," a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros—reflects Larry and Sergey's mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.
