Is there a name for the latitude/longitude pair 0,0? On a graph, (0,0) is referred to as the "origin" but I'm not sure if that term also applies to the location 0,0 in cartography.
Answer
Yes, you still reference coordinates (0, 0) as the origin in respect to the coordinate system as a whole.
In essence, coordinate systems are grids in themselves. Therefore, terminology between the two are shared.
See how ArcGIS refers to the "Grid" location as the origin.
