VV

vv is a two-letter sequence that appears in many languages and contexts but does not designate a single concept by itself. In writing, it most often occurs as part of words, proper names, or abbreviations, and it can carry specialized meanings in particular domains such as linguistics, typography, and sports organization.

Historically, the sequence is notable for its connection to the origin of the letter W in the Latin alphabet. In medieval inscriptions and early types, the letter W emerged as a ligature of two V shapes, written as VV (and sometimes UU). Over time, VV evolved into the distinct character W, making "vv" a marker of the alphabet’s development rather than a phoneme in its own right.

In Dutch-speaking regions, VV commonly stands for voetbalvereniging, meaning a football (soccer) club. The initials are widely used in club names and signage, for example in names like VV Katwijk or other local teams. This usage is purely organizational and not related to the letter forms themselves.

Beyond historical and national abbreviations, "vv" can appear in branding, stylistic logos, or as a playful emphasis in informal writing to mean "very, very" or similar emphasis. It remains a neutral typographic sequence rather than a fixed technical term, its meaning determined by context.
