- znpy 6y agoNo, that's not the story I know. The name google was name chosen after Googol (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol) to reflect the amount of webpages that in the founder intentions they were about to index. Apparently when they registered the name the officer/employee was not familiar with the concept and just wrote down the name as they thought it was written: Google. edit: source: https://www.webcitation.org/68ubHzYs7?url=http://graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html https://www.webcitation.org/68ubHzYs7?url=http://graphics.st...
