This depends on what Algebra Book you are referring to.
A book written in Arabic called " Al-jebr w'al-mugabalah" is where algebra got its name. The beginning of this name, Al-jebr, is obviously its origin and means "the reunion of broken parts".

Algebra comes from the Arabic word al-jabr, which appeared in the title of a book Hidab al-jabr wal muqubala (roughly translated as The book of restoration and cancellation". This was written in Baghdad in the early 9th Century by the mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi.
