A.D., anno domini, meaning “in the year of our Lord”
Sometimes people think it means “after death,” but that would leave a 33-year gap between BC and AD dates.
Academia tends to use C.E. now, to mean “common era,” which is indexed to the same timeline but using non-religious language since a majority of people in the world are not Christian.
