CV is whatever those Latin words are.
It is different from a Resume - often includes more "personal" information (I've seen pictures, hobbies (sometimes on resumes too), number of children, wife's name, etc) on a CV.
These things are no-no's for resumes.
Some people use the words interchangeably - but they aren't quite the same. In the US, we usually want a resume - but in Europe (or when talking to someone from Europe) they will refer to a CV (and not be surprised if they get a resume from an American!)
Hope that helps

CV stands for curriculum vitae.
The following is clipped from About.com (because I liked their wording!)
"In the United States, a curriculum vitae is used when applying for academic, education, scientific or research positions. A curriculum vitae can also be used to apply for fellowships or grants. In Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers expect to receive a curriculum vitae rather than a resume."

curriculum vitae - another phrase for resume. Europeans usually say CV, in the US people usually say resume except in academia, where often CV is used.
