No, that's their ordinal position, and how 8 billion non-programmers would refer them as in any everyday setting.
That's also how programmers would refer to them if it wasn't for a historical accident.
What's more, that's also how programmers refer to them when they talk between then and not to the machine ("check the 3rd column" not "check the column at the index of 2").
