IPL in IplImage stands for Intel Processing Library, which is a remnant of when OpenCV was maintained by Intel.
CV in cvMat stands for Computer Vision Matrix, which is a data structure commonly used in graphics.
IplImage is an old structure, which I believe is internally converted into cv::Mat, or just Mat if you're in the cv namespace already. Likewise, cvMat is converted into Mat as well.

And in EMGU CV (C# wrapper for OpenCV), the corresponding data structure is `Image
