What is the full form of AD & BC?

Answer»

1) AD: Anno Domini

The full form of AD is Anno Domini. It is a Medieval Latin term. It means “in the year of our lord”. This term is used to represent the year after the Christians God Jesus Christ. Sometimes AD is also spelled as After Death which is totally wrong. Actually, this is a misconception because AD and BC both are used to represent years count individually. AD was discovered by a Monk named Dionysius Exiguus. It had replaced the Diocletian era that had been used in old Easter table.

2) BC: Before Christ

The full form of BC is Before Christ. Before Christ (BC) was devised by the Venerable Bede for his “Ecclesiastical History of the English People” in 731. Bede’s book was very popular and helped established the BC/AD system among scholars, particularly after Charlemagne officially adopted it.
