Before Common Era. Science requires precision, and the term BC is both a religious term and so not favored, and somewhat uncertain in actual fact (no one really knows the year that Jesus was born; there have been arguments about it). So, what they did was say "we call this year, x numbers of years before present on the day we declare this, as the marker year, and we will call it "common era" to indicate that is the common usage at the time we write this; year 1 on the current commonly used system for counting years is the start of the Common Era.
There is no year 0, just to be clear. There is a zero point, which is when 1 BCE become 1 CE. the year count goes directly from 1 BCE to 1 CE. No 0.
Science does not abide uncertainty or ambiguity very well. Science requires everyone to mean exactly the same thing when they say something. It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but it has to be that way.

BCE means Before the Common Era; specifically, prior to year zero. Starting with year zero, the current time, often referred to as AD, becomes CE or Common Era, meaning now.

CE and BCE have been used in some areas since about the 1880s.
They mean "Common Era" and "Before the Common Era."
Their academic use became widespread in the mid-1990s.

BCE (Before Common Era) is considered more politically correct. Ridiculous.
