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.
