I think I remember from my secretarial training that cc stands for 'carbon copy' and bcc stands for 'blind carbon copy'. A carbon copy was taken on a typewriter and was sent to someone other than the original addresee of the letter. A blind carbon copy was a further copy that was done and sent to a third party without the original recipient of the letter being informed. They originate from time when we didn't have wordprocessors and letters were typed on a typewriter - if you wanted copies, you put a sheet or sheets of alternate blue or black carbon paper and copy paper behind the original and then typed your letter, which would be copied to the subsequent pages behind. It was a pain if you made a mistake - tippex on all copies or you just ripped it out and started again!!!

Cc means Carbon/courtsey Copy and Bcc means blind carbon/Courtsey copy
the people on Cc list get a copy of the email and all the people that rec it can see their name on the sent to list, the Bcc people also get a copy but the other people that rec it cannot see that they did.

CC is carbon copy and BCC is blind carbon copy, the CC means that you can send it to more people, the BCC means that the other people you send it to wontbe able to see who else you are sending an email to

CC carbon copy (usually used to keep inform someone informed of what you sent, especially your supervisor/manager. it's also known as "keeping people in the loop" usually for projects)
BCC blind carbon copy (email addresses and identities of people in this list would not shown to others)

The previous answers are correct, Carbon Copy & Blind Carbon Copy.
But as no one is using carbon paper anymore, the modern version has it as; Courtesy Copy, and Blind Courtesy Copy.

Carbon Copy and Blind Carbon Copy.
In the case of the blind carbon copy, it means whoever's name you put in there can read the email, but no one else in the adress field knows you sent it to them.
