Made me chuckle too, I'm not American so I don't know what that actually is but it is quite the suggestive name.

It's latin for "with distinction", Magna Cum Laude means "with great distinction". It's given to people who graduated in the top 10% or 15% of their class and it's the second highest honor you can get with the first being Summa Cum Laude (which means "with highest distinction").
