A.M. stands for “ante-meridian”, or the hours before 12:00 noon.

P.M. stands for “post-meridian” or the hours between 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight

A.M. stands for “ante-meridian”, or the hours before 12:00 noon.

P.M. stands for “post-meridian” or the hours between 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight (when the A.M. hours start again.).

“AM” stands for the Latin phrase Ante Meridiem —which means “before noon”—and “PM” stands for Post Meridiem : “after noon.”
