I call it "Number"
My boss calls it "Pound"
Unicode calls it "Number sign"
Your dictionary will call it "octothorpe"
Who are you going to believe? Me, my boss, Unicode, or your dictionary?

U.S. and Canada: "number sign".
Other English-speaking nations: "hash".
But it has a lot of other names, too, like the "pound sign" or "widget mark".

hey Clubiba :)
that symbol is often used to abbreviate the word number
for example #4 ( number four)
hope that helps :)

In the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, they call it "Hash", or, when it's a telephone key, the "Hash Key".
