It is an abbrevation for "Common Era" and is an alternative to the naming of the calendar era of AD. BCE (Before Common Era) and CE are the numerical equivalents of the calendar eras of BC (Before Christ) and AD ('Anno Domini'). 632 CE means the same as 632 AD.

'Anno Domini' translates to 'in the Year of Our Lord.' The BC/AD year-numbering system was introduced by a 6th century monk who intended Jesus Christ's birth to be the reference date. BCE/CE is often used by historians or authors who wish to be neutral or sensitive to non-Christian beliefs who don't use the word 'Christ' for Jesus or believe that any given year is the 'Year of Our Lord.' It is a bit more politically correct, but not any more or less technically correct.
