1. Apple
In an interview with Sir Isaacson, Steve Jobs said that he
was on a fruitarian diet and was coming home from an
apple farm, when he thought this name was fun and not
intimidating. Another story says that Jobs wanted to pay a
tribute to the music label, Apple Records for the Beatles.
Some also say that he wanted the name to be before Atari in
a phone book. We may never know the real story, but that
doesn't matter now.

name the company as Googol. But while registering the
domain name, the word Google was written. And that's how
it became their company's name . Interesting!
