The acronym CFC means carbon, fluorine and chlorine which makes up the organic compounds for what is also called Freon. Freon is a trademark of the du Pont de Nemours & Company which was originally developed as a refrigerant during the 1930s.

Chlorine, Fluorine, and Carbon make up ChloroFluroCarbons (CFCs).

An added note about CFCs, they catalyse the destruction of triatomic oxygen (O3) into diatomic oxygen (O2) thus causing a thinning of our protective Ozone layer (ouch).
