AD stands for anno Domini [Some use AC for "After Christ"], and follows the birth of Jesus, while BC stands for "Before Christ". They are centered around the birth of Christ.

Alternatively, BCE and ACE stand for "Before Common Era" and "After Common Era", and do not single out 'Christ' necessarily, but rather the shift in history that occurred there.
