Don't forget the well-known traditional name for "@" in French: "une

Never _seen_ this one.

Me neither. Any reference to show that it is indeed « traditional » ?

I _know_ about "arrobe" or "arobe", which is indeed the traditional name of
the thing (an unit of weight), whose counterpart is arroba in Spanish.

Cf. http://hapax.qc.ca/Pourquoi_arrobe_dans_10646.html (see here the reference works named)
