The term was coined in 1938 by Milton Sirotta (1929--1980), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old.

A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation.

The founders of Google had intended to register it as Googol when they set up the company but inadvertently spelled it wrong and did not realize before it was too late.
