Well I never did. I thought it was medical doctor, but that seemed too obvious. I thought it was some latin thing like AD means Anno Domini or something.

AD isn't the used term anymore.
Now the term is CE. It means "Common Era".
And rather than "BC", it is not "BCE" - Before Common Era.
...random trivia.

Yeah, it's so that non-Christian people won't be offended. I thought AD meant "After Death"? And BC meant "Before Christ"? (I know that BCE means Before Common Era, I'm talking about the previous terms)

bass cone is right, AD stand for "Anno Domini" wihich is latin for "year of our Lord" which stands for the years around and after the birth of Jesus Christ.

Yeah, the "After Death" thing is a common misconception.
