BC means before Christ and AD stands for Anno Domini (year of the lord). BC is before the birth of Christ and AD are the years after the birth. People often use BC as Before the Common era and CE for Common Era (CE). Not all people are christian.

What does AD stand for on a timeline?

The letters AD on a time line stand for Anno Domini.Translated into English from the Latin, that means "Year of our Lord." This is the year counted from the supposed birth of the Christian's Jesus. Present usage is to keep the AD year count but use CE (Common Era) as the descriptor. Similarly BC (Before Christ) becomes BCE (Before Common Era)
