If we are talking time , the initials a.m.' are from the Latin phrase 'Ante Meridian'.

Translated into modern English it means 'Before Noon'.

NB Note the spelling of 'Ante' , with 'e'/ NOT 'Anti'

From Latin

Ante means before , and Anti means against.

Correspondingly 'p.m'. is from the Latin phrase 'post meridian'.

Translated in to modern English it means, 'After Noon'.

NB 'post' from Latin means 'After' , not 'mail/letters.
