EV stands for extended validation, it is more involved and expensive and required verification and validation of the legal entity *owning* the said domain, over and above the DV part you referred to. The key difference between DV and EV certs is that DV certs do not assure that any particular legal entity is connected to the certificate, even if the domain name may imply a particular legal entity controls the domain, whereas EV does that. You can think of SNI being somewhat similar to HTTP's name-based virtual hosting, but for https. It basically allows a server to present multiple certs on the same IP and port for multiple websites.
