Full Form of GOOGLE, What Does GOOGLE Mean?
Full Meaning of GOOGLE
Have you ever thought GOOGLE was just a misspell of GOGGLE, then
later found out it’s actually an abbreviation? Well, I did too. Not until I saw
an Indian movie titled “Chalk and Duster” – a story about two good teachers who
were sacked because they decided to take education as education and not as
business.
In the last scene of the movie, while the two teachers were
proving their worth to the school management during an organized quiz
competition for the teachers, with a prize of 50 million Rupees as stake by the school management. One of the
questions asked was the full form of Google.
Some other questions answered in the movies were the full meaning
of YAHOO, the distance between Sun and Earth, the meaning of Dalai Lama which means
Ocean of compassion etc.
The teachers proved to be oceans of knowledge themselves
despite being thought as old fashioned and incompetent. They went ahead to win the prize and proved that, despite their archaic method of teaching, they still stood among the best pf those who impart knowledge to the young ones who have now grown to downplay their method of teaching. It's a nice movie, you can check it out.
Ok, back to what brought you to this page –the curiosity to
know what Google stands for. But before we dive into what Google full meaning
is, it’s good practice to know the etymology and story of how the tech giant came
to be, It’s founders and how much it’s worth.
Officially, Google is not an abbreviation nor does it have a
full form. It is just a word generated from the word “Googol” which means a
huge number. Google as a search engine which crawls web pages and index them deals with large amount of data. Hence, the word Googol.
Founded in September 4, 1998 in Menlo Park, California, United
States by two then Ph.D. students of Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey
Brin. The company has since then diversified from being just search engine to
acquiring the video streaming and monetization platform, YouTube; a free
hosting blogging platform, Blogger; Google map, Android mobile operating system;
Chrome; Gmail and so many other products have been created by the company to
make life easier.
Google is the most visited website in the world and the
leading subsidiary to the umbrella company, Alphabet Inc with Sundar
Pichai as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as at when writing this article.
The company is currently worth over two hundred billion
dollars, with a revenue of over seventy billion dollars, fourteen billion
dollars in Net income and 114,096 employees as at Q3 2019.
So, what is
the full form of GOOGLE?
Google actually has a meaning just like YAHOO and the
full meaning is GOOGLE: Global Organization of Oriented
Group Language of Earth.
I bet you don’t know this before now. Ok, I might be wrong
about that. Do you also know YAHOO and COMPUTER have full form?
