The original number was ten, but King Eurystheus added two more because he thought two of the original ten didn't count: Hercules received the help of his nephew Iolaus in slaying the Hydra, and received payment for cleaning the Augean stables/ the rivers her diverted into the stables did all the cleaning for him.

Herculean comes from the Greek root word Hercules (the famous Greek hero). Hercules was given several tasks to perform, which were almost impossible for a mortal man to accomplish. He did, and from that point on, all difficult (near impossible) tasks were referred to a "Herculean" in scope or nature.
