The Meaning of “Google”
Are you aware of the meaning of the word “Google”? People living in every country and speaking every language are well-acquainted with the word “Google.” Everyone is familiar with the famous and renowned company and the world’s largest and most successful search engine, Google, but do you know what it means? In fact, the word Google is derived from the mathematical term Googol.
The word Googol was invented by a little child who was the nephew of the famous mathematician Edward Kasner. Edward was pondering what to call a number that had 100 zeros following a 1, and during this time, he heard the voice of the little child, which sounded similar to “googol,” and thus he named the number Googol. The internet company Google made a slight modification to this and named it Google, and this name indicates that the company provides information to its users in an extremely organized manner, in the magnitude of millions and billions.
