it´s am and pm in both Spanish and English, since they correspond to Latin a.m . ---> ante meridiem and p.m. ---> "post meridiem

The Latin abbreviations a.m. and p.m. (often written "am" and "pm", "AM" and "PM", or "A.M." and "P.M.") are used in English, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Spanish. The equivalents in Greek are ?.µ. and µ.µ. respectively.
