AD: Anno Domine in the Christian era; used before dates after the supposed year Christ was born; "in AD 200"
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
BC: Abbreviation for the term Before Christ. Years are counted back from the traditionally recognized year of Christ's birth. In academic, historical, and archaeological circles, this term is now generally replaced by Before Common Era (BCE).

AD stands for "Anno Domini" which translates to "in the year of our lord". "After Death" is wrong, because it counts from the year of Jesus' birth, not his death. |

You see, Cats came before dogs... so they divide time like that. Before Cats, which is extremely early, and After Dogs, Which is now. I hope you're not believing that. Honestly, I think it has to do with Bibical times, Before Christ, and After Death, refering the the death of Christ. I think... :) |

A.D. means "Anno Domini" - don't ask me to translate but I think it means, loosely, after Christ died. |

I could be mistaken but I think A.D. means after death. |

(B)efore (C)hrist
(A)fter (D)eath
The original words are Latin, or Greek (I think) but that's the meaning. |

Anno Domini. And it means "Year of the Lord." |

B.C. stands for Before Christ, A.D. stands for Anno Dominae. (Year of Our Lord in Latin) Some think it means after death, but I was told it was Anno Dominae. |
