Google is a misspelling of Googol which is the number 10^100 (ten to the hundredth power). Google's name accurately portrays Google's mission of organizing all of the world's information.

The founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin had been working together on a search engine they called "BackRub" since early 1996, but with the encouragement of Yahoo! co-founder David Filo, they decided to start a company in 1998 and went looking for investors to back them. Google, Inc. was established on September 7, 1998.
