The correct term for the character is "Ampersand" It has come to mean "at" in computer jargon but what it means is not what you asked. The name is in fact "Ampersand"

Hi, This is a symbol for " at ". Like your email address.
joesmith@yahoo.com It was used when secretaries were writing letters for their bosses years ago. (before computers)
It was called "short hand". Hope this helps some.

As yet it has no formal name. The "at symbol" title is descriptive, but not yet official as per Merriam-Webster.
