Why Is Google Called Google?

[Dalmadagos]

Its really a strange name... so Why is it called that?

[jim360]

From wikipedia: '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 picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information.'
