440Hz is actually an A. These sites list all of the notes by frequency in Hertz (Hz):

but just to confuse you you can also have A415 (Hz) which is referred to as concert pitch !

Not to mention the fact that different orchestras around the world tune to slightly different concert pitches. :)

DO they have a "atomic concert pitch"? :p

Sort of like the clocks that are set to "atomic time" so you never need to set your clock, it does it automatically? That would be .... Coool. (in a butthead voice)
