AD started as soon as Jesus was born. It is actually Latin for 'after birth' and BC is Latin for 'Before Christ'. It just happens that they are the same letters and AD is not. It is a very common mistake for people to think AD started after Jesus died. But, think about it. If BC ended after he was born because it would no longer be before Christ, and AD started after he died, there would be some years missing in time for when he was living.

In Latin, AD stands for Anno Domini which translates to "year of our lord." It it supposed to start counting from the birth of Jesus.

No, the use of AD (Anno Domini) to denote years in the Gregorian calendar starts from the year believed to be the birth of Jesus, not his death. His death is commonly placed around 30-33 AD.

Jesus died in the year 32 AD.Another Answer:Generally speaking the date range for Jesus' death by crucifixion is from as early as 27 AD to as late as 35 AD. However, the date that seems to fit well with 'hints' within Scripture would be Passover Wednesday, 25 April 31 AD, at the 9th hour or 3:00 PM Roman time.
