aroba
  11

The symbol "@" is called "at" in Spanish. The word "aroba" is not commonly used to refer to this symbol. The at sign is mainly used in email addresses to separate the username from the domain name, and is also used to indicate a measure of weight in some parts of the world, especially in Spain and in Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America. Origin: The origin of the word "at" comes from the Arabic "ar-ruba", which means "fourth part". Back then, an arroba was equivalent to a quarter of a quintal, a unit of weight used to weigh goods such as grains, olives and other products.
