    The most popular search engine, Google, was invented by the Soviet born Sergey Brin and American Larry Page in 1998. They named it Google, after the Googol. The Googol is the term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. The name itself was chosen to represent the infinite amount of information that the search engine aimed to organise.

    The name of Google is derived from the number googol, which is equal to the number 1 followed by 100 zeros (1 x 10^100). Backrub was the original name for the search engine until Sergey Brin and Larry Page rebranded the company as Google, Inc.

    Back in 1996, before Google even existed as an entity, Page and Brin were already making up nerdy names for search engines. According to Stanford's David Koller, and Google's own website, Page and Brin's 1996 foray into the world of search engines was initially called “BackRub.” Yes, BackRub.
