It just comes from C's pre/post add notation. I.E.

int i;
i++;

A more interesting question (for me at least, since I already knew the
answer to this one) is what the # in C# means.

That's simple too. C is also the name of a musical note. C# is the next
higher one. The reason why the # stands for "sharp" is because that note is
also called "C sharp".

PS: I tend to pronounce the # as "Schweinegatter" in german, which means
something like "swine gate".

It symbolizes the natural evolution of C-like languages:

C ... C++ ... C+@ ... C# ... C*&# ... C&%#$*!!! ...

And don't forget Ç (c-cedilla), which is under development in some
dark, wet corner and will blow up all standards, since most of people
don't seem to know them anyway.

I also quite like "C Lattenzaun" ("C picket fence") :-)

It stands for pound, to match up to the roman numeral C.
This is from the "100 pound gorilla" model of MicroSoft.
