Google turns 27: What does the word Google actually mean?
Google observes its symbolic "birthday" on September 27, distinct from its actual incorporation date. The 2025 celebration revived its original 1998 logo, highlighting its remarkable evolution. The company's name, a playful misspelling of "googol" (10^100), arose from a domain registration typo, perfectly symbolising its ambition to organise immense information. This blend of grand vision and serendipity defines its global journey.
