V and U both used to represent the /U/ sound.
The pointed form ⟨v⟩ was written at the beginning of a word, while a rounded form ⟨u⟩ was used in the middle or end.
In old English W used to be written as two Vs.. so VV which later became one letter, and since V was still U the name.
And yes.. I am fun at parties 😅
