A fanciful name (not in formal use) for ten raised to the hundredth power (10100).
1940
The name ‘googol’ was invented by a child (Dr. Kasner's nine-year-old nephew) who was asked to think up a name for a very big number, namely, 1 with a hundred zeros after it... At the same time that he suggested ‘googol’ he gave a name for a still larger number: ‘Googolplex’.

Sasha Sagan was born in 1982, the googol has been around a lot longer than that

The name of the search engine was perhaps conceived as an alteration of googol n., with allusion to the large amount of information contained on the internet.
