I searched online in dictionaries and other places and could not find a real difference, but no two words mean the exact same thing, Anyone know the actual difference?

Spelling is the only difference between a lawyer and attorney.

Lawyer is to attorney as snake is to serpent.

In the USA the terms are synonymous.
ON your other point, no, nouns do often mean the same thing......uh.... take "Hillary" and "Satan" for example
EDIT: Did that dude below me just copy my answer?

In the US, there is no difference.
It means someone who is licensed to practice law.
