Google started with two college students - Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They wanted to create a website - a comparative list of other webpages. This will be based on how many of the other websites have linked to them.
The word Google is derived from 'googol' - the name of a special number. The number is: what happens when you put 100 zeros on the back of 1 - that's it. Why did Larry and Sergei choose this name? The huge amount of data that their website will search for - that's what they meant by that name.
