The 12-hour clock is a timekeeping convention in which the 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called ante meridiem (a.m., Latin from most idiomatic to most literal "forenoon" "before noon", "before midday", "before the middle of the day", "before the meridian", and "before the middle day") and post meridiem (p.m., Latin for "afternoon", "after noon", etc.)

A. M. = Ante Meridian
from the latin Anti=prior to and Meridian = Noon
so it stands for before noon (noon is mid day)

a.m. stands for ante meridian or before the meridian or midday.
p.m stands for post meridian or after the midday.

ante - meridian, I believe.
That means "before the sun reaches the halfway point in the sky".

a.m. : ante meridian.
Translation: before noon.
Though you did not ask: p.m.: post meridian. i.e., after noon.
