The term am, Am or AM, when used by itself can refer to:

  1. English verb: Present tense, first person, singular form of the verb be. I am.
  2. am is short for ante meridiem, Latin for "before noon". This is used to define hours of the day: The meeting starts at 9 am. The opposite of am is pm.
  3. German preposition: am is a contraction for the preposition and definite article "an dem", and as such occurs in some place names (similar to English upon): Frankfurt am Main.
  4. In chemistry, in the periodic table, Am is the chemical symbol for Americium.
  5. In electrical engineering, AM is short for amplitude modulation.
