Best Answer

It is called the Hindu-Arabic numeral system because it originates from India and was brought to Europe by the Arabs of North Africa. The symbols we use today (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8 and 9) were added to the Latin alphabet in the 16th century, and are now the internationally recognised numeric symbols, regardless of the system. Hindu-Arabic refers to the base-10 decimal system we use today, not the symbols.
