Nowadays, Google is one of the most famous names on the Internet and this was proven by plenty of surveys employed by a lot of polling firms. Because of its popularity, most of the Internet users are always discussing about it as if it's a celebrity. But have you ever asked yourselves of what does Google stand for?

According to one of the online dictionaries, Google stands for a brand used for a web-based search engine. This brand often occurs in print as a verb, consistently in lowercase.

The name started as a way to the amount of data the search engine can search for. It was first named 'Googol', a word that means 1 followed by 100 zeros.

It is a very big value. As a matter of fact, there is no googol of something in the created universe. Google's use of the word shows Google's vision to reorder the all numerous amount of information and make it generally handy and functional.

Since it is a company name, Google is a noun. Slowly, however, but certain, it develops and likely to become a verb as a lot users refer to the act of doing their research in the Internet as "googling".
