    It is called, "commercial at," in the English language. It means, "at" and was originally used in marking prices in lists, such as:

    3 widgets @2.75

    It was often mistakenly identified with "each at" (partly because it looked like a concatenation of e-a).

    There was a time in the middle 20th century when it was almost removed from typewriter keyboards. When a symbol was needed for e-mail, the then-unused @ found a new use and new life.

    Some people use it for "A" but it means "At" like

    Blababababa@Yahoo.com ( Fake email)

    So it would be Blababababa AT Yahoo Dot Com.

    On here it means a game is afoot. Why does this symbol not have a name? It's referred to as the at symbol. It should have a name like ampersand.

    It's called an 'At.' That's why when they show listings for baseball games, sometimes, it says things like:

    Braves @ Phillies

    Pirates @ Brewers

    Mets @ Cubs

    At.

    Usually one people who are too lazy to type in 'at' use @.

    They get it from email addresses and such. Like, mine is allyjacobs@ymail.com

    Or allyjacobs at ymail.com
