The point in a triangle where all three angle bisectors meet is called the incenter.
incenter
the point where the three angle bisectors of the triangle intersect
Circumcenter. The circumcenter of a triangle is the center of the circumcircle of the triangle. It is the point, O, at which the perpendiculars bisectors of the sides of a triangle are concurrent. The circumcircle of a triangle is the circle that passes through the three vertices. Its center is at the circumcenter.
In short, the orthocenter really has no purpose. There are 4 points of Concurrency in Triangles: 1) The Centroid - the point of concurrency where the 3 medians of a triangle meet. This point is also the triangle's center of gravity. 2) The Circumcenter - the point of concurrency where the perpendicular bisectors of all three sides of the triangle meet. This point is the center of the triangle's circumscribed circle. 3) The Incenter - the point of concurrency where the angle bisectors of all three angles of the triangle meet. Like the circumcenter, the incenter is the center of the inscribed circle of a triangle. 4) The Orthocenter - the point of concurrency where the 3 altitudes of a triangle meet. Unlike the other three points of concurrency, the orthocenter is only there to show that altitudes are concurrent. Thus, bringing me back to the initial statement.
