The term "Arabic numeral" is a misnomer that originated in 1847. The more accurate term is "Hindu-Arabic numeral," as the origin of the numerals is Hinduism in India between 400 B.C. and A.D. 400. The only connection with Arabs is that they communicated this system to Europe in the A.D. 900s, through Arab mathematicians. Most Arabs did not use these Indian numerals.
