In English it is literally called 'double u'
Even tho it's more like a double v. Always struck me as odd.
Afaik, comes from Latin that had no "U" and "V" was both vowel and consonant until some point in time.
Bug is supposedly a Welsh origin word that is spelt bwg. and that's the limit of my knowledge
