This year is called Anno domini (AD) which in Medieval Latin means 'in the year of the Lord', but is often translated as 'in the year of our Lord'. It was also occasionally also called 'anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi '(in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ). It is a calendar era used in the Gregorian Calendar, the calendar we use today in the west. This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years from the start of this epoch, and BC (before Christ) denoting years before the start of the era. This system and no year zero. Therefore, year one is the year of the reckoned birth of Jesus. More recently the terms Current/Common Era (CE) and Before the Current/Common Era (BCE) have been in use.

The system originated from Christian monks. This was devices in (AD) 525 by Dionysius Exiguus, an eastern monk. Its earliest documented use of this method of calculating dates by the monk Bede in the seventh century. It became widespread in the 9th century
