a.m. means ante meridiem (from latin – i think – before mid-day) and p.m. stands for post meridiem (from latin after mid-day)

I just looked it up to make sure for spelling the latin words!

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 can also call it as anti-meridian(A.M);

prime- meridian(P.M)

i hope that it may be helpful!
