如意 or as you wish is an everyday tool to scratch one's back. But because of its wonderful name, it acquires the status of a cultural symbol for happiness. How amazing!!

What's the English name for that tool?

I am not sure. I don't think there is a tool with similar functions, especially the cultural symbolic significance, which is derived from the Chinese name "as you wish" implying that what you are wishing for will come true. That is why it was used in the royal wedding during the last dynasty.
