The Google name was derived from the word "googol," a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros.
According to the founders of Google.com, they were thinking about a good name, something that would relate to arranging and organizing large amounts of data. It was mentioned that one of them said it would be like ‘googolplex’. Googol was a term which referred to 1 followed by 100 zeros, a very large number. They had it shortened to ‘Googol’ instead.
They tried to search it over the domain name registry database and found that it was available for use. However, one of the founders was not that good at spelling, and typed ‘Google’ instead. Since then, they had Google.com registered under Larry Page and Sergey Brin ‚ the domain name registration records show that the domain name was registered on September 15, 1997.
What was Google called before it was called Google? =)
Search engine Google was called BackRub by founders: Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were developing the search engine at Stanford University after their graduation.
