Image 1 is a collection of the different creatures that appeared where X was used for the first time. Some years later, a man identifying the popularity X had gained,named his first creation after X .Image 2 shows this creation ( the one with his voice bubble edited ) . Some years further,the popularity this creation attained prompted a suggestion from a person for a certain nomenclature;the suggestion was accepted. After some more time , this popular name gave a distorted idea regarding name of something else,which as the question is flowing,became immensely popular too.
What ? Fence this popularity circle with your explanation.
Answer
X is Google.
Image 1 shows creatures that featured in The Google book.
Billy DeBeck in 1919 created Barney Google (in image 2)
When the mathematician and Columbia University professor Edward Kasner was challenged in the late 1930s to devise a name for a very large number, he asked his nine-year-old nephew, Milton Sirotta, to suggest a word. The youthful comic strip reader told Kasner to use "Google". Kasner agreed and in 1940 he introduced the words "googol" and "googolplex" in his book, Mathematics and the Imagination.
This is the term that Larry Page and Sergey Brin had in mind when they named their company in 1998, but they misspelled "googol" as "Google" bringing it full circle right back to Billy DeBeck
