There are a few options:
1) The war plane.
2) Inclusion of the audience/public as a part of the overall entity of the band.
3) Funny play on letter-number/words.
Hope that helps!

It doesn't really mean anything i think that's the point. it didn't pigeon hole the band to any scene or musical style .

It means 'You Too', but they could make the letters bigger and still fit it on a collector's pin.

It means nothing. It was short and catchy, so they used it.

U2 is an US Airforce spyplane,quite an old one,though i dont know if that has any bearing on why they chose the name.

I would think that the name has something to do with this plane, being that a lot of their music has to do with war. |

I think it was named after a sort of plane. I went to an air and space museum in april in virginia somewhere and they had a coffee mug with a picture of a plane and it said U2 on the bottom. i wanted to get it so badly but the lady kicked us out of the store cuz we were all playing with the toys |
