For Cartesian coordinates in n-dimensional space there are n axes which are [usually] orthogonal and which meet at a single point called the origin. The coordinates of any point in the n-space are defined by ordered n-tuples whose terms refer to the distances of the point, from the origin, along each of the axes.

It is the Cartesian plane or grid system whereas coordinates of x and y are plotted on it.
The x-and the y-axes of the two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system divide the plane in four. Each of these is a quadrant.

The parts of a cartesian coordinate system include the origin (point 0,0), the x-axis or abscissa, the y-axis or ordinate, and the quadrants into which the x and y axes divide the plane.
According to the stories surrounding its development, yes.
