bcc means blind carbon copy. cc means carbon copy.

The abbreviation cc come from a long time ago when if you wanted to make a copy of a letter you were writing you put a piece of carbon paper followed by another piece of paper behind it and the impressions made when writing or typing the letter caused the carbon paper to duplicate what you wrote on the other piece of paper. This made a "carbon copy" which you could keep or send to someone else.

So, cc means you are sending a copy of your email to the people listed in the cc space. bcc means blind cc, meaning the person you're emailing will not know you also sent copies to these people.
