1: The pound sign. This name came to be because the symbol comes from the abbreviation for weight,

lb

, or libra pondo, literally “pound by weight,” in Latin.

2: The number sign.

3: The hashtag. The word hash predates these other names (but wasn’t very popular until recently). A hash has referred to stripes on military jackets since as early as 1910.

4: The octothorpe. The Old Norse word thorpe meant “farm or field,” so octothorpe literally means “eight fields.”
