Is the origin of a coordinate system also called "origo"? [closed]

In a coordinate system, the (0,0)-point where the axes meet is mathematically called the origin in text-books and in texts I can find online - e.g. on Wikipedia.

In my mothertongue Danish, we instead use the mathematical word origo (which sounds like nothing Danish - rather latin, I would guess).

Now, I have a digital Danish-English dictionary at hand (well-recognized, as far as I know), and when looking it up, the result was:

In Danish, of course, but let me translate the four results:

• origo -The linguists discussed the origo of the word
• origin -He wrote an article about the origin of language
• beginning -She has been researching the beginning of language for many years
• originate -The dictionary explained from where the word originated

This dictionary suggests to me that the word origo does exist in English. But none of the four results concern the mathematical meaning as the origin of the coordinate system.

So, is it correct that this word exists? And if so, is the meaning the same as coordinate system origin?

I have never heard origo used in math or physics. Nor is origo in the Oxford English Dictionary. When I enter origo, I get:

No dictionary entries found for ‘origo’.

There is no entry for origo in Etomonline, neither here nor on the following page.

(My advice, amigo, is if you want to use origo in mathematics, do it with brio or not at all. :))

Even as a Mathematics student, I've never come across it, so it's better to use a well-known term in the first place, otherwise you might just end up with confusing readers.
