It's fun because Duo implies "Deux", or "2". And it takes up to 12 people ;D

It was only two at the beginning. The desktop app still not supports groups

Because in the start, google had Allo and Duo. and Allo was for chat and Duo for calling. And then they killed Allo, but not Duo.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if Duo gets renamed...

They already had Hangouts when they started creating Duo, so maybe it means duo-ver (do-over).

Duo was originally announced alongside "Allo". But Allo was killed off last year https://allo.google.com/

Yes, I'm familiar with the history. The tendency to launch things, kill them off, and launch something else was kind of the point of the joke.
