This is called bifid uvula. It happens the same way cleft palate happens. When the two halves of the palate were fusing when you were in the womb, the two sides of the uvula didn't fuse. It occurs in 2% of the population and is unlikely to cause any serious problems. Just Google bifid uvula for more info.
