Living in the UK I've always called @ the 'at' sign, with & being the 'and' sign, the # is 'hash' sign, and £ as the 'pound' sign. These are the four signs that always seem to differ on keyboards between USA and UK, especially when setting up the languages in some (older) operating systems, not just Windows, but other OS as well.

In my home language of Afrikaans, people call the @ sign an aapstert or a monkey's tail.

in Israel it's called a "shtrudel", after a much-beloved Austrian-Bavarian fruit or cheese filled roll-up pastry!

This sign has always seemed a little weird to me as the word “at” is hardly longer than @ so why? 🤣

Player #7106191, interesting theory but I can’t find corroboration on the “each at” (a in and) theory. Someone please post link if you find it.

when you look at the @ sign,it looks like a snail. So it's logical to think of it that way.

Ok I understand calling it elephant's trunk, monkey's tail, worm or snail... Calling it papaki though...🤣

In the UK it is simply the "at symbol" or the "commercial at"
