Cuerna means horn, vaca is cow.

It must be a compound of those. Bull's horn? Cow's horn?

It's the capital city of the state of Morelos, Mexico.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuernavaca

It's odd how the Wikipedia article gives a different sense of the name's origin:

Cuernavaca (Spanish pronunciation: [kwe?na??aka]; Classical Nahuatl: Cuauhn?huac [k?aw?na?wak]"near the woods")

Recuerdo de Cuernavaca = Memory of Cuernavaca
