# is known as 'pound' in North America because it traditionally is used to denote weight in pounds when following a number (e.g. 20# for twenty pounds), a notation typically used in the food industry.
# was always know as the pound symbol in North America until social media ran rampant using it to tag everything. In most other english speaking countries it's simply know as the hash symbol.
