I want to know the Latin words for the abbreviation of B.C. (not "before Christ")?

Question

I am trying to show my 11 son that these abr. were in Latin orginally not english. I already have the Latin for A.D.

Answer 1

Ante Christum Natum - which is Latin for "before the birth of Christ."

(The era we now call BC was used to be known as "a.C.n." or "Ante Christum Natum.")

Answer 2

Anno Domini (Latin: "In the Year of the Lord"), abbreviated as AD, defines an epoch based on the traditionally-reckoned year of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Similarly, Before Christ, (from the Ancient Greek "Christos" or "Anointed One", referring to Jesus) abbreviated as BC, is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch. Some non-Christians use the abbreviations AD and BC without intending to acknowledge the Christian connotation. Some people prefer the alternatives 'CE' and 'BCE', arguing that they are more neutral terms (see below).

AD stands for Anno Domini or Year of our Lord referring to the year of Christ’s birth. BC stands for Before Christ. CE is a recent term devised to fit with to solve the year 0 problem. It refers to Common Era and is used in place of A.D. BCE refers to Before Common Era.

Answer 3

Ante Christum

Answer 4

B.C. might not exist in Latin...It is some what a modern reference after Christianity...otherwise there is the non-religious B.C.E(before the common era).
