In my country we call it "alpha" symbol. And before there was email we've basically never used it for anything. Now we also call it as "at" symbol.

It's "at." Sometimes when sending emails on secret-side internet you can't email an email address (it's weird) so you have to do something like:


first.last(at)domain.secretdomain .mil

In my culture @ is that thing you find in emails and something it's used to represent internet as a whole. And that's about it.
