Google’s 27th Birthday: Google is celebrating its 27th birthday. But with a twist of doodle. This Doodle depicts the image of Google that used to appear during searches years ago. Today, on the occasion of Google’s 27th birthday, you should know what Google means. Billions of people worldwide use it. Google is the world’s leading search engine. Do you know what Google stands for?
What does Google mean?
The word ‘Google’ comes from the wrong spelling of a mathematical term. The misspelling of the mathematical term “googol”. The mathematical term ‘googol’ means 1 followed by 100 zeros. It is said that Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who started Google, wanted their search engine to show people a lot of information. And that is exactly what happened. Google is so widely used today that people often search for information on the internet using Google.
Understanding Google’s History
Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, both PhD students at Stanford University. Google was officially founded on September 4, 1998, but since the 2000s, Google has celebrated its birthday on September 27. This date was chosen because on that day, Google indexed a record number of pages on the internet, a major milestone. Today, Google is owned by Alphabet Inc…, a holding company formed in 2015 to manage Google’s core services and other new ventures, such as Waymo (self-driving cars), Verily (health technology), and X Research. Alphabet is a public company, meaning its shares are traded on the stock exchange and owned by its shareholders.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin are no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of Google, but they remain board members of Alphabet. Sundar Pichai is the CEO of both Google and Alphabet. He is steering the company in new directions, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and hardware. Sundar Pichai is of Indian origin, and under his leadership, Google has developed many new technologies.

Every year at the end of September, Google celebrates its founding. This Doodle appears on Google’s search homepage and commemorates the company’s founding in 1998.
Google’s name before Google
You will be surprised to know that originally, Google wasn’t called Google. Google’s initial name was “Backrub”. However, in 1997, the search for a new name began. The team involved initially considered names like “Googolplex” and Googol”. Ultimately, it was decided to choose Googol
