Dionysius Exiguus created the system of Anno Domine in 525 A.D., but it would not become popular or widely-known until the 9th Century, due in no small measure to the writings of Bede. The other side, Before Christ, would be known by many different terms - although all with the same or similar general meaning - and the specific modern term would not become popular until the 1627 writings of Denis Petau.

∙ 13y agoAD means anno domini, year of the Lord - referring to the year when Jesus Christ came to Earth and all the years since them. BC means Before Christ. I guess it was a priest or christian historian that created those terms, but of course no one is really sure of the year Jesus was born (nor the day) thus that division became useful to historians but inconsistant in its primary objective.
