B.C. is for "Before Christ", "A.D." is for Anno Domini, Latin for "In the Year of Our Lord.Originally the Latin was "a.C.n.", an abbreviation of "Ante Christum Natum", which is Latin for "before the birth of Christ". However, this changed at some point to BC. Now we all have to be politically correct anyway and say CE for common era.For the record, the Hebrew terms for BCE and CE translate to "before the Christian count" and "by the Christian count".
