Way back in the dark ages when computers were dinosaur-powered and I was doing my bachelor's in the UK in Math and Computer Science, we called this : # Hash of the Hash Symbol (not Hashtag). I only ever heard it called Pound when I moved to the US. Of course the pound is the currency in the UK so a pound sign is something entirely different.
