Googology

Googology is the study and nomenclature of large numbers, particularly (but not limited to) those related to the googol. Googology, coined by Andre Joyce, is a portmanteau of googol and the Greek "-ology" suffix.

Googology is not to be confused with googlology, the study of the Google search engine and its various other services.

One who studies and invents large numbers and large number names is known as a googologist, and a large number name is known as a googologism. Googology is known for the rather comic names given to the googologisms, such as "meameamealokkapoowa oompa", "a-ooga", and "wompogulus".
