AM and PM are abbreviations derived from Latin terms used to denote specific times of the day.

In some parts of the world, it is called railway time. Also, the international standard notation of time (ISO ) is based on this format.[source?]

What Do AM and PM Stand For?
Two Hour Periods
The hour system divides the 24 hours of a day into two periods lasting 12 hours each.
Noon serves as the dividing point between the two periods and as the basis for the designations am and pm:
What Is the Origin of AM and PM?
The abbreviations derive from Latin:
- AM = ante meridiem (before noon)
- PM = post meridiem (after noon)
- AM means before noon. This is the hour period from midnight to noon.
- PM means after noon. It covers the 12 hours from noon to midnight.
Using numbers from 1 to 12, followed by am or pm, the hour clock system identifies all 24 hours of the day.
For example, 1 am is one hour after midnight, and 5 am is early in the morning; 5 pm is late in the afternoon, while 11 pm is one hour before midnight.
