Some times we may have the thoughts like why we are putting that name some particular why not other? for such type of questions some of the answers are:
GOOGLE:
The name "Google" originated from a common misspelling of the word "googol", which refers to 10 to the power100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb "google".
WIKIPEDIA:
WikiWikiWeb was the first site to be called a wiki.Ward Cunningham started developing WikiWikiWeb in 1994, and installed it on the Internet domain c2.com on March 25, 1995. It was named by Cunningham, who remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the "Wiki Wiki" shuttle bus that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web. Thats why the name is wikipedia.
OXFORD:
Oxford was first occupied in Saxon times, and was initially known as "Oxenaforda", meaning "Ford of the Ox"; fords being very important before the days of bridges.
