BC stands for "Before Christ" and AD stands for "After Death." In Latin, AD stands for "anno domino." That means "in the year of our lord."
BC stands for Before Christ, before Christ was killed. AD stands for After Death AFTER Christ was killed.
Two outdated but still common terms. AD stands for After Death (the death of Christ), BC stands for Before Christ. The 'correct' terms are B.C.E (Before Common Era) and C.E (Common Era)
