On the Google Press Center: Fact Sheet it says:

“The Meaning of Google

‘Googol’ is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, ‘Mathematics and the Imagination’ by Kasner and James Newman. Google’s play on the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web”
