Hi,
The term "googly" was first used when Bernard James Tindal Bosanquet (October 13, 1877 - October 12, 1936) discovered it. He was from England. Also called as bosey from his name. It is bowled by the right arm leg spinner which does of an off break. This is more or less like a doosra which is bowled by the offy, which does a leg spin. Infact, both of them are the same in terms of meaning. Googly = Doosra = Other one or Opposite. In Australia, it is commonly referred to as a wrong'un (and in India as the wrong one, which led to the naming of the doosra, meaning the other one, named by its inventor Saqlain Mushtaq, one of the best off-spinners of Pakistan.
Thanks! Hope I helped :)
