It is a secular (non-religious) synonym for "Before Christ" (BC), which is the method of referring to years prior to the year 1.
For example, Julius Caesar of the Roman Empire died in 45 BC, or 45 BCE. Both "BC" and "BCE" are interchangeable, and refer to the exact same year. Just as "BCE" is used to replace "BC", the acronym "CE" is used to replace "AD".

CE stands for Common Era or Current Era, coinciding with AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "Year of (our) Lord."

Year 0 is commonly called the year of Christ's birth. This "backronym" is due to the fact our common era is due to the historic event that happened 2012 years ago.

This avoidance of facts is how BC (Before Christ) has been modified to BCE (Before Common Era).
