Sergey Brin and Larry Page founded Google in 1998. 70% of search queries worldwide run through Google’s search engine.

On occasion, people wonder where the name Google comes from, and its origin story comes from a spelling error.

A “googol”, in mathematics, is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. Page originally wanted to call the search engine googol.

By the time the company formed, they switched the name to Google. Perhaps the name is easier to spell and looks more friendly on the screen.

People perform billions of search queries each day through Google. It’s such a popular name that it became a verb years ago among users.

In fact, most people refer to running an internet search as “Googling” something.
