The "pointy thingys" I used to stick on roofs as lightning conductors in an earthing network were called finials 8^))

I believe that "finial" is the name for any pointy thing on a roof, even the merely decorative ones. Also, I think the ends on some curtain poles are called finials. Presumably it just means "the thing on the end" like the French word "fin".
