Why the name is Google?

Google is the most famous search engine on the Internet now but a lot of people don't know why it has the name Google.

Go back to the history of Google in 1996, at the time that Larry Page and Sergey Brin invented a new technology call "PageRank" to rank websites on Internet using links between them. Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was meant to signify the amount of information the search engine was to handle. Originally, Google ran under the Stanford University website, with the domain google.stanford.edu.

Now, Google is one of the most successful companies on the web with billions people using their services and a huge amount of information they processing daily.
