atpersand

The @ sign. The word was first heard nationally on January 2, 1994, during a broadcast of CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt. One week earlier, Mr Kuralt asked viewers to send in names for the sign, since no name existed. "Atpersand" was submitted by Professor John Giannotti of Rutgers University. Mr Kuralt read Professor Giannotti's letter during the broadcast.

The atpersand is used in email addresses.

Ampersat

Ampersand. "@". The at symobl. Commercial at.

Referring to the question "What's the @ symbol called?" on page 34 of the January 2006 edition of ITnow, I can only suggest the following: If the "&" symbol, or "and sign", is known as the "ampersand" then the "@" symbol, or "at sign", must surely be known as the "ampersat".
