Yes, I can imagine that some native French speaking people don't know
the meaning of "at", spoken for them as "èt", but the sign "@" is
ar(r)obas(e) in French.
In Dutch it is called "apestaartje" (monkey tale), but "at" is more
commonly used...

Many people do not know the name "ampersand".  No-one knows what "@" is
called.  Some people think "~" is a tilde.  (Hint: it's a swung dash.)
