How did they come up with the name Google?

Answer 1

Google is actually a misspelling of the word "googol", which means the number one followed by a hundred zeros.

The meaning behind it is that it is the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.

Answer 2

Google got its name from what it means. Google often means 'infinite' to many people. You see, when you search up something on google, you get infinite results. So google chrome means infinity colors, because in either greek or latin (i''m not sure which language, sorry!) it means 'color'. So, google means infinity! :)

Answer 3

Well, we have an answer from Glen Murphy, Design Lead, Google Chrome. In his words, "We had a 'pick a codename' vote early in the development cycle - the names that came of that competition were so terrible that we were all pretty happy when one of the leads overrode it and declared that the codename would be 'Chrome', presumably because he likes fast cars. When it came time to pick a real name for the product for shipping, we stuck with 'Chrome' because during development, we'd all come to love the product deeply, and new names had a hard time breaking and bettering the associations we'd already formed with the codename."

Answer 4

originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine wants to provide large quantities of information for people
