Google came up with numerous amazing ideas that made things easier for everyone. However, we could not say the same about their choice of names because they initially intended to name their company as Backrub. For those who were skeptical, feel free to search it. Thankfully, the owners realized that it was not the best name to represent the company and decided to go for Googol. It was the name of the number 1 that was followed by 100 zeros. The developers misspelled the name Googol to be Google.

Legos were famous for the colorful plastic building blocks and the iconic yellow headpieces that presented the characters. It was shocking to find out that Lego did not start as a plastic building block brand. It began as a wooden block company founded by a Danish carpenter named Ole Kirk Christiansen. The name came from his Danish history from a saying “Leg Godt”,” that meant “Play Well.” The name was stuck, but the blocks significantly changed. It was so famous that a movie had been based on the popular children’s toy.
