You can call it AT as in "Myname AT Yahoo.com"

@ means at
@ has disputed origins, but most think it came to be during the 18th century as a commerce symbol (i.e. 5 apples @ 10 pence). But there have been other refrences to it being used as early as the 14th century.
Ray Tomlinson was the first to use it in electronic mail ("quick hack" as it was refered to by him) in 1971 that he sent to himself, thus making it why our current email addresses are (name)@domain.com.

@ is shorthand for at. Some people use it in note-taking, but it is more commonly used for email and other internet purposes.

I think most people would just call it an "at symbol" I don't know any name besides that.
