Answer / gp_bellamkonda

In a piano, there will be white keys, and black keys, right!
The White Keys are named as A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
The black keys after White keys are called as sharp(#) keys.

And remember, C# means, the right side of C => the thing
which is AFTER C....
That means C# is a language more advanced than C.
(C++ is already chosen, thatsy C# is given as a name.)

I dont think there is a technical reason, but # in the music
world is pronounced as 'sharp'. So I guess the one who
coined C# looked to be interested in music than as
pronouncing it as hash.

Answer / lata negi

C# is pronounced as C-Sharp because Microsoft made it more
sharper & more useful than C & C++ Language. C# is an
evolution of the C and C++ family of languages.
