A. D. is an abbreviation of "Anno Domini," which, roughly translated, means "The Year Of Our Lord." It has no connection with "After Dead."

Anno Domini (Latin : "In the year of (Our) Lord"[1]), abbreviated as AD or A.D., defines an epoch based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth. AD is also an abbreviation for Christian Era.[2] Similarly, Before Christ (from the Ancient Greek "Christos" or "Anointed One", referring to Jesus), abbreviated as BC or B.C., is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch. Some prefer the alternatives 'CE' and 'BCE', arguing that they are more neutral terms (

AD = Anno Domini -- In the Year of The Lord (Christian)
AM = Anno Mundi -- in the Year of the World; the world was created in 1 AM (Jewish)
BC = Before Christ (Christian)
BCE = Before the Common Era Jewish/Secular
CE = The Common Era Secular
AH = Anno Hegira -- In the Year of the Hajj (flight) used with Islamic religious calendars. It was in 620 AD/CE when Mohammad (pbuh) fled from Mecca to Medina due to persecution.

This is the Christian year of 2007 AD
This is the Jewish year of 5767 AM
This is the Islamic year of 1428 AH

Anno Domini.

Think it's *supposed* to be since the birth, however as the calendar systems have been changed several times over the course of time and there are no contemporary collaborations of the birth event, it is rather hard to place an exact date.

no, it's Anno Domini (spelling?), in the year of our Lord.

Well, since it starts at the year of His birth, I don't think it means that. :-) The latin meaning is "Year of our Lord".
