From Google.com:
The name "Google" is a play on the word "googol," which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. A googol refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googol is a very large number. There isn't a googol of anything in the universe -- not stars, not dust particles, not atoms. Google's use of the term reflects our mission to organize the world's immense (and seemingly infinite) amount of information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Google is a mix of several words to suggest searching:
Googol - the number 1 with 100 zeros trailing
Ogle - to look intently
Goggle - to look with amazement
And it is a mildly humorous sound.
