Why is the letter ‘W’ pronounced as though it has 3 syllables?

1.11K views

How is it logically possible for a single letter to have 3 syllables? Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to pronounce the letter ‘W’ using just one syllable as ‘wee’ similar to how letters 2 thru 5 are pronounced ‘bee’, ‘cee’, ‘dee’ and ‘eee’?

From what i’ve heard, it’s mostly because V is V, but double-u
Has an U and an U since a lot of ppl write it UU.
