CC means "Carbon Copy". The email was sent to multiple recipients or, if send a new email, can have multiple recievers by separating addresses with a comma and a space.

"cc" stands for Carbon Copy. It harkens back to the days when we used to write on one page but have it show on several other pages behind it thanks to a carbon sheet placed in between. In this case, you've written just one draft of an email, but 'copied' and sent to several other pages to several other people.
"cc" in email is used to specify a destination to which a copy of the email is to be sent. By common usage, it appears to differ from "to" in that the "cc" destinations are not the primary recipient(s) of the email.

It's an abbreviation for "carbon copy", from back in the "old" paper days when a sheet of "carbon paper" was inserted between 2 sheets of paper to make a copy of the original when the original was written/typed/etc. on.
