I'm from Sweden as well, and it took a while for me to hear it referred to as "kanelbulle".
In the early 90's when I was introduced to email, my father and his colleagues used to call it "kanelbulle", and that stuck with me. It wasn't until a few years later when email started to gain traction with the non-techie crowd I heard it being called "snabel-a".
Translation; "kanelbulle" is Swedish for "cinnamon roll/bun", because @ looks like one.
