Coordinated geometry was the conception of the French mathematician Rene Descartes.
The real name for a coordinate grid would be a Cartisian Plain. It sounds somewhat like that.
Rene Descartes developed the rectangular coordinate system.
The Cartesian coordinate system was invented in the 17th century. The idea of this system was developed in 1637.

According to the stories surrounding its development, yes.
a coordinate system is lines of longuitude and latitude that are used in a map to locate something. There is a coordiante in the Equatorial Coordinate System that is like longitude in the Geographical Coordinate System.....what is the coordinate? Celestial Equator?
Coordinate grids were developed by the French mathematician René Descartes in the 17th century. He introduced the Cartesian coordinate system, which allows for the representation of geometric shapes algebraically using pairs of numerical values (coordinates). This system laid the groundwork for analytic geometry, enabling the integration of algebra and geometry.
The coordinate plane allows the location of any point on a plane to be defined algebraically. This then enables the mathematical tools developed for algebra to be used to solve problems in geometry (and conversely).
Cartesian coordinate system.
The coordinate system can be in any number of dimensions whereas the coordinate plane is a 2-dimensional concept.
