No, Google is a made up name, created (by mistake) by the creators of the Google search engine. When Sean Anderson, Tamara Munzner, and Lucas Pereira were registering a name for their new invention, they initially wanted googol (a shortened version of googolplex (a very large number), but when researching whether googol was available as a name, Anderson mistyped googol as google and history was made.

Google is a trademarked name for a popular search engine; the name has but two Os, as you can see.

Google actually began as a misspelling of the word googol (which has 3 Os), a word for a very large number, a 1 followed by a hundred zeros.
