If I recall correctly, Unitarians were once a Christian denomination that believed in God and Jesus but believed them to be simply different aspects of a single Godhead, instead of a Triune God. How they got hooked up with the Universalists is unknown to me.

No surprising, it's one of the most difficult concepts in Christianity.

You are correct. Unitarianism began in Transylvania and has been around for centuries. Universalism began in the U.S. about 200 years ago. The merge didn't occur until 1961. Universalists believe that all will be saved. You put the two together and it doesn't seem surprising that what would come out would be what Unitarian Universalism is today - a church that defies the traditional definitions of what church is.
