What does "pm" stand for?

I hear it with reference to world leaders but it's the same as when you say the time.

When referring to time, PM stands for "post meridiem," which is Latin for "after midday. " The PM hours are the hours between noon and midnight.

The letters "pm" in reference to a world leader stands for Prime Minister, usually the equivalent of a President. When "pm" or "p. m. " refers to the time of day, it means post meridian. This phrase means afternoon.
