The at sign (@, read aloud in English as "at") is a typographic symbol used as an abbreviation for "at".
An ampersand is the & sign.

The @ symbol has no name, it is simply known as the AT symbol.

The official name is the "at" sign. In Israel the @ symbol is often referred to as "strudel". So anyone who ever made or cut a strudel would agree th@ "strudel" is @ least as appropri@e a name as "at sign".

It stands for AT. Which is the word "at" mainly used as a conjunction. There is no big secret.
