GOOGLE:
Global Organization of Oriented Group Language of Earth. There is a lot of
confusion about if Google has a full form or it is just a word created by the
founder of Google. Officially Google has not a full form. It is generated from
a word "googol" which means a huge number
GOOGLE stands for
G - Global
O - Organization
O - Oriented
G - Group
L - Language
E - Earth
The word "Google" is derived
from "Googol" which means
10 to the 100th power (which is 1 followed by 100 zeros).
HISTORY OF GOOGLE:
When Larry Page and Sergey Brin first created their
search engine at Stanford they originally named it BackRub.
However, they quickly realized that BackRub was,
ahem, not a great name choice.
In choosing a new name, Larry and Sergey decided to incorporate
the fact that their search engine was supposed to return large amounts of
information so they chose to name the company after a really large number, also
known as googol. When they went to register the domain name for their newly
christened company, they misspelled the name thinking googol was spelled with
a le suffix instead of the ol suffix and
that's when Google was born.
Any
acronym you may hear tied to the company's name is simply a backronym and has
nothing to with the origin of the name nor is there one that is officially
recognized by Google.
Note:
There is a lot of confusion about if Google has a
full form or if it is just a word created by the founder of Google. Officially
Google has not a full form. It is generated from a word "googol"
which means a huge number.
The word "googol" represents
a number that is 1 followed by 100 zeros.
But I have read somewhere that GOOGLE is an
acronym for Global Organization of Oriented Group Language of Earth. Don’t know
how far it’s true.
