Milton sirotta coined the term googol!
The Namesake
No, but a googol (after which the search engine Google was named as a pun) does - a googol is 10100 which is a one followed by 100 zeros.

Not sure of the exact date or even year but it was in the 1940s.
To write a googolplex down, you would have to make a one, followed by ten thousand trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, zeroes. There are no named numbers past googol plex, but you could write 'googol plex and one, googol plex and two,' and so on.
2 googol
googol and one, googol and two, googol and three...
in my agenda at school, there is a little fact that the number centrillion, has 500 zeros. but, there is probaby a higher number out there. a googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros, but higher named number is a googolplex which is one followed by googol number of zeros - that's a lot of zeros!
There are (googol+1) of them.
No. A googol is 10 to the 100th power (10^100). But the Latin-based named number "centillion" is much larger (10^303 short scale).The largest commonly used number is based on the googol : a googolplex is 10 to the googol power (10 to the 10^100 power)
Googol can be written as googol or 10^100.
