Zapewne większość z was nazywa "@" małpą lub małpką. Część pewnie z angielskiego czyta go "at"... Ale na świecie jest ogromna ilość ciekawych jego nazw. A nasze nie są najdziwniejsze z możliwych.
Całości tłumaczyć nie będę, bo za mało ludzi to przeczyta żeby miało to sens.
W wielu językach innych od angielskiego mimo że maszyny do pisania zawierały symbol "@", to jego wykorzystanie było znikome przed rozpowszechnieniem się e-maili w połowie lat 90-tych. Konsekwencją tego jest, że symbol ów często postrzegany jest w tych językach jako oznaczający "Internet", komputeryzację, lub po prostu modernizację.
A oto jak "@" nazywają w innych językach. Jeśli gdzieś widzisz prostokąty zamiast znaków, to widać nie obsługujesz innych kodowań

In Arabic, it is آتْ (at).
In Armenian, it is շնիկ (shnik), which means "puppy".

In Bulgarian, it is called кльомба (klyomba – "a badly written letter"), маймунско а (maymunsko a – "monkey A"), маймунка (maimunka – "little monkey"), or баница ("banitsa" - a pastry roll often made in a shape similar to the character)
In Catalan, it is called arrova ("a unit of measure") or ensaïmada (because of the similar shape of this food).
In Chinese:
In mainland China, it used to be called 圈A (pronounced quān A), meaning "circled A / enclosed A", or 花A (pronounced huā A), meaning "lacy A", and sometimes as 小老鼠 (pronounced xiǎo lǎoshǔ), meaning "little mouse".[27] Nowadays, for most of China's youth, it is called 艾特 (pronounced ài tè), which is the phonetic transcription from "at".
In Taiwan, it is 小老鼠 (pronounced xiǎo lǎoshǔ), meaning "little mouse".

In Czech and Slovak, it is called zavináč, which means "rollmops".
In Danish, it is snabel-a ("elephant's trunk A"). It is not used for prices, where in Danish a alone means at (per piece).
In Dutch, it is called apenstaartje ("[little] monkey tail"). The "a" is the first character of the Dutch word "aap" which means "monkey". However, the use of the English "at" has become increasingly popular in Dutch.
In Esperanto, it is called ĉe-signo ("at" – for the email use, with an address like "zamenhof@esperanto.org" pronounced zamenhof ĉe esperanto punkto org), po-signo ("each" – refers only to the mathematical use), or heliko (meaning "snail").

Other names include kissanhäntä ("cat's tail") and miukumauku ("miaow-meow").
In French, it is now officially the arobase[28][29] (also spelled arrobase or arrobe), or a commercial (though this is most commonly used in French-speaking Canada, and should normally only be used when quoting prices; it should always be called arobase or, better yet, arobas when in an email address). Its origin is the same as that of the Spanish word, which could be derived from the Arabic ar-roub. In France, it is also common (especially for younger generations) to say the English word "at" when spelling out an email address.[citation needed] In everyday Québec French, one often hears "a commercial" when sounding out an e-mail address, while TV and radio hosts are more likely to use arobase.

One arroba is equivalent to 32 old Portuguese pounds, approximately 14.7 kg, and both the weight and the symbol are called arroba. In Brazil, cattle are still priced by the arroba – now rounded to 15 kg. (This naming is because the at sign was used to represent this measure.)
In Romanian, it is most commonly called at, but also colloquially called coadă de maimuţă ("monkey tail") or a-rond.

Others call it aron, or la (Romanian word for at).
