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., from Latin, literally "before midday") and post meridiem (p.m., "after midday").

am= before midday
pm= after midday
They are both Latin. 'am' stands for ante meridiem and 'pm' stands for post meridiem
