If I'm not mistaken, AM is "ante meridian" (before midday) and PM is "post meridian" (after midday). Perhaps the confusion does come about partly because 24-hour notation is zero-based, whereas the 12-hour clock tries to avoid the zero and calls it 12. A 24-hour time of 00:00:00 would correspond to 12:00:00AM, while 12:00:00 would correspond to 12:00:00PM.
