Depending on context, either:
Curriculum Vitae, Constant Velocity (as in CV joint),
or a fragment of the formula 1/2 CV ^2 (energy stored in a capacitor).

curriculum vitae (short history of your life). vitae is the possessive form of the noun vita (life) in latin. Curriculum means a running of a race, the course of your life, if you want a literal translation of curriculum vitae. It is basically a fancy term for Resumé or in English Resume (itself from French and means summary).
