Octant (solid geometry)
One of eight divisions of a Euclidean 3D coordinate system / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined by the signs of the coordinates. It is similar to the two-dimensional quadrant and the one-dimensional ray.[1]

The generalization of an octant is called orthant.
