Now, open Google, select Images, from the top menu. You’ll see that next to the search field appears a small icon of a camera, click on it.

This opens a small window where you have two options: Paste a url (which only serves to public photos, something that many avoid in social networks) and upload an image. Click on the latter option, then click the Browse button and find the picture you saved on your computer.

Usually, Google will display all sites where this image appears. If the photo is true of the person that you have as a contact, always appear linked to the same name. If on the contrary, it is advertising or a photo taken from the web, the image will be in different places and with different names.
