Strudel

It's Klammeraffe (spider monkey) in German.

It's "kukac" (worm) in Hungarian.

Apparently (the source is not reliable):

If you're asking whether it's true, the answer is yes. It is indeed known as a strudel in Hebrew!

Wikipedia has a great collection.

In Spanish it is called "arroba" which aparently originates from Arabic number 4 and was used as a weight measure in rural Spain. I always thought that was the origin of the simbol, but honestly have no idea, my arabic is quite poor.

Strudel ... mmm yummy.

The pastry is also called Strudel in Austrian, German and Russian.

I always thought that was the origin of the simbol

The symbol, as far as I know, seems to have originated from a concise form of the english word "at", where the two letters are glued together and the horizontal line of the "t" has gone missing over time.

The OED folks say
>This sign originated as a scribe's quick way of writing the Latin word ad, especially in lists of prices of commodities. It is usually known as 'the at sign' or 'the at symbol', which is good enough for most people. It is sometimes called 'commercial a', and occasionally by the French name arrobe or arroba. It has acquired various nicknames in other languages, but none has so far caught on in English.

The modern habit of putting a period/full stop after a letter to indicate an abbreviation was not the usual habit in the middle ages. Instead the letter would be distorted somehow. For example, the right leg of the R in "recipe" =gather (the following ingredients) would be lengthened and crossed. This is like that, I think.
