@ = Alias or "also known as"
Used these days as an identifying mark for email addresses, not so long ago it was ironically a sign for an alternate identity;
e.g. my name is justju @ jugular_vein
or
my name is justju, also known as jugular_vein
Oh and by the way, just to add a little to useless trivia, the symbol "&" is called an ampersand.

Technically, it's known as 'attenuation symbol' but people normally say 'the at sign', 'the at symbol', or even just 'at'. btw - in Polish, it is called 'monkey'.

People typically say and think "at" when they come across this symbol, but its technical name is the "arroba".
