The abbreviation AD stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for Year of the Lord. Dates given in this format are counted from the year once considered to be the year of the birth of Jesus ("the Lord").

A date system which refers to Jesus is not appropriate for the many religions other than Christianity. However, since this system of dating is in such widespread use throughout the world and is the standard system internationally, agreeing and adopting a new system would have been a lengthy process.

AD (Anno Domini) is now CE (Common Era)

BC (Before Christ) is now BCE (Before Common Era).

Earlier this year, the first print run of a four-volume Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization was pulped by its American academic publishers following an outcry that it was biased in favour of Christianity, evidenced by its use of BC and AD instead of BCE and CE. But, whether it's BC or BCE, both systems take the Gregorian calendar as their starting point .
