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 the middle day", idiomatically "approaching midday") and post meridiem (p.m., "after the middle day"). Each period consists of 12 hours numbered 12 (acting as zero), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Hourly time periods run 12:00 through 11:59 either ante meridiem or post meridiem.[1] When referencing twelve o'clock the descriptor is either noon or midnight.

You are getting half the answer every time
Ante meridium and post meridium are correct (meridium is latin for meridian). When the sun is east of the meridian (runs through London) it is ante meridium (before the meridian), i.e. morning and when it has passed over the meridian it is post (after) meridium, i.e. afternoon.
When the sun is directly over the meridian it is noon. These times are GMT of course so when we are on summer time it is one hour later.
Note that ante is spelt with an 'e', so many of the answers spell it anti which means against!

Lauren K has the only correct answer so far.
"Ante-" means "before," but "anti-" means "against."
The second word must be "meridiem" not "meridian."
