This question is actually quite debatable but many people point to India as the origin for the number zero.
Originally from Kish, Iraq. Kish is located some 12 km east of Babylon, and 80 km south of Baghdad
the first country to have a recognised numbering system from 0 - 9 was India

The mathemtician aryabhatta in about 460 ce {ce is similar to AD} (not sure on exact date) but he was first person to come up with the concept of the number 0

When did and who found the symbol '0' zero?

Although the origin of zero is controversial, some historians believe that it was invented by the Babylonians in about 500 BCE. In the sixth century, it was discovered by the Hindus and Chinese, and 700 years later, it reached the Western world via the Arabs. Zero is the only integer (whole number) that is neither positive nor negative. In a sense, zero makes negative numbers possible, as a negative number added to its positive counterpart always equals zero. When zero is added to or subtracted from a number, it leaves the number at its original value. Zero is essential as a position holder in the system known as positional notation. In the number 203, for example, there are two hundreds, zero tens, and three ones. Zero indicates that the value of the tens place is zero. In the number 1024, zero indicates that the value of the hundreds place is zero. Scientists use the term absolute zero (0° Kelvin) to refer to the (unattainable) theoretically lowest possible temperature, at which the kinetic energy of molecules is zero.
