Yes, it shows 2 icons for the same device.

As seen in screenshot, one iPad icon appears in devices and another icon in other people. The one in

the devices doesn't work and the one in the other people works.

To confirm this if both icons are of same device or not, if I turn off airdrop on my iPad, both icons

disappear simultaneously!

Do you mean to say both the names airdrop to the same device?

If one doesn't work then it may be a device which was used earlier for Airdrop to a friend or a family member. They should get refreshed if you restart your device.
