I own a shop, and build a lot of engines. CC stands for cubic centimeters in the metric measurement system, just like CI stands for cubic inches in the American Standard System.
The CC of an engine is determined by several factors, but to keep it simple it means how many cubic centimeters there would be in the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke. It is measured from the top of the piston (@ bottom stroke) to the bottom of the cylinder head where the valves would be. CC refers to area, and this would be the total volume of liquid that could be put into this area before it ran out. If you imagine a hypodermic syringe pulling all the liquid out of an area, then how many cc's it measures equals the sum of the area.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

in email or business correspondence it stands for "carbon copy"
doh, didn't see this was motor answers.....
A cubic centimetre (symbol cm³ or cc) (US spelling: cubic centimeter) is a commonly used unit of volume extending the derived SI-unit cubic metre and corresponds to the volume of a cubed box measuring 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm.
One cubic centimetre corresponds to a volume of 1⁄1000000 of a cubic metre, or 1⁄1000 of a litre; therefore, 1 cm³ = 1 ml.
In many scientific fields, the use of cubic centimetres has been replaced by the millilitre.
The medical and automotive fields are two of the few fields wherein the term cubic centimetre is still commonly used.

Where did you see cc from? If its from a movie dvd or tape box that says cc it means closed captions for hearing impaired.

since we are in car and transportation, then cc stands for cubic centimeter. It is the metric version of cubic inch used in american cars

cc is cubic centimeters. It is the european measurement used for the size of engines.
In America, our unit of measurement for engines is Cubic inches and litres.

CC stands for cubic capacity. it refers to the amount of space your pistons take up.

scouse must not spend much time reading that manual. capacity is not a unit.
