I think that Google got their name from the number googol; which would be 10 to the power of 100, or 10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000. Being known for their search engine above all else this would probably be their choice as to say "we have millions apon millions of site in our search".

Also their headquarters is called the googleplex; a play on the word googolplex; A googolplex is the number one followed by one googol zeros.

Basically... its based around the number 10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 being a googol.
