The name Google is a misspelling of googol. A googol is 10100, or one followed by a hundred zeros in decimal representation. Its official number name is 10 duotrigintillion.
The term “googol” was suggested in 1938 by nine-year-old Milton Sirotta, who was out walking with his uncle, the mathematician Edward Kasner (1878-1955).
