B.C. stands for Before Christ, and refers to any year before Christ was born.

A.D. stands for the latin phrase "Anno Domini," which means "in the year of our Lord." It means any year after Christ was born, but is often dropped. (For example, the current year is technically 2011 A.D. but we just say 2011)
