"Thorpe" is an old word meaning a small hamlet or village which is secondary or subservient to a larger nearby village. It is related to German "dorf" and Afrikaans "dorp". Probably the coiners of the word "octothorpe", which has only existed for a few decades, were visualizing a central town surrounded by eight subservient ones, giving the tic-tac-toe design which is now known as an octothorpe.

The name of the symbol is "pound sign" or "number sign". It is also known as an "octothorpe" or "hash symbol".

The octothorpe or hash sign precedes the name of the ID attribute:

HTML: <div id="sidebar">

CSS: #sidebar { color: red; }

The octothorpe symbol is also known as the hashtag symbol (#). It is commonly used in social media to categorize or tag posts. Additionally, it is used in telecommunications to denote numerical keypads.

There are various names for the # sign, commonly known as the number sign - similar to the musical sharp sign - one of the most common in technical senses in telephony and computing is the octothorpe.

Many words in English are derived from Latin . The word Number is originally" Numero ".The first letter N and the last letter o are used .Sometimes the symbol # (the octothorpe) is used to mean "number".

The pound key on a cell phone is the key with two lines going down and two lines going across, sort of like Tic-Tac-Toe. Normally its located in the bottom right of the key pad.

An ID in CSS is identified by the octothorpe symbol (#). An ID in CSS references the ID attribute in HTML and they should have the same name. For example lets say I have the following code in my HTML:

<small id="copyright">Copyright &#169;2015 &#8212; David Trower. All Rights Reserved.</small>

Notice the id="copyright" on the <small> element? That is the ID. In CSS, if I want to stylize this element by referencing that ID I would use the following CSS code:

#copyright {

color: #9CBDDE;

}

Notice how what follows the octothorpe (#) symbol in the CSS code is the same as the value of the ID attribute in HTML (both are the word copyright). An ID is to be a unique identifier within a document. It should appear once, and only once, within a single document.

The symbol '#' goes by various names. In Unicode tables, it is officially known as the "number sign", which follows popular usage in the US and Canada. In many other English-speaking countries, it is called the "hash". In the US also, it is sometimes called a "pound sign" as it was historically used as a unit symbol for weight in pounds. That sometimes causes confusion with the currency symbol, £, which is used for pound sterling in the rest of the world. Because of all that confusion, engineers tried to coin the name "octothorpe" for this symbol, but that never caught on, for obvious reasons.

well, there is a number symbol, money symbol, percent symbol, and symbol, star symbol and these are just some of them...

An ID is used to define the style properties of a specific thing whereas a class is used to define something you may use multiple times. For instance, if you are going to make a loginbox you will use an id because you will only have one identical loginbox on the page whereas if you wanted every quote to be given the same style you would use a class, this would mean all elements with class=quote (after you define it in the CSS) would always style quotes to your needs. In short, you could use either as they have pretty much the same outcome, but organised CSS is good CSS so you are better off using classes and ID's as i have defined them above.
