Hey, it's not
In mathematics, some large number has naming and googol is such one. You may be confused with the word 'Google' - the giant search engine name but Googol, not Google is a number that describe a huge number.
A googol is the large number that equals 1 followed by 100 zeros. In exponent form it written as 10100.
The term was used in 1920 by a 9 years old boy Milton Sirotta (1911–1981), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. May be it was silly when he named it as googol.
Googol, a quantity that surpasses even the number of hydrogen atoms in the observable universe.
It is a belief that Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, named their search engine after the term googol.
