AM = Ante Meridiem (Latin: \"before midday\") covers 12:00 midnight to 11:59 morning
PM = Post Meridiem (Latin: \"after midday\") covers 12:00 noon to 11:59 night

Quick reference:

Time	AM or PM	Period
12:00	AM	Midnight
7:00	AM	Morning
12:00	PM	Noon
7:20	PM	Evening
11:59	PM	Night

Confusing facts:

Morning 7 o'clock = 7 AM
Afternoon starts at 12 PM (noon), NOT 12 AM
12 AM = Midnight | 12 PM = Noon — the most commonly confused pair
7:20 PM = evening or night, not morning
