There is a lot of misconception that AD stands for"After Death"..meaning ..after the time of jesus christ..
But what AD really stands for is Anno Domini..(The time from the Birth of Jesus Christ)..For more details..check here,,

A.D = After David.
B.C = Before Christ.

after david, look it up. Why are all these people saying after death, I haven't a clue.
I looked it up for you.
“A.D.” does not mean “after death,” as many people suppose. “B.C.” stands for the English phrase “before Christ,” but “A.D.” stands confusingly for a Latin phrase: anno domini (“in the year of the Lord”—the year Jesus was born). If the calendar actually changed with Jesus’ death, then what would we do with the years during which he lived? Since Jesus was probably actually born around 6 B.C. or so, the connection of the calendar with him can be misleading.

AD stands for the Latin, Anno Domini (I think that's how it's spelt), which is the plural of the Latin Annus Dominus, meaning "the year after".
