Where did "Google" got it´s name from?


In mathematics we have the word "Googol" that is One with 100 zero´s, which means unimaginably big numbers!

The Google-Founder Larry Page and Sergy Brin decided to use this name in a light modified form to how many information one can find in the internet using the search engine.
However, the name "Googol" was discovered by a nine year boy Milton Sirotta in 1938 for his uncle Edward Kasner who is also a US mathematician.
