The calendar that we are using is based upon the birth of Jesus Christ, although it is also recognized that it is actually off by a few years. But it's close. The year 2010 AD means 2010 Anno Domini which in Latin means the Year of Our Lord. Some people who don't want to accept Jesus as their lord instead use the term C.E. for Common Era, instead of AD.

What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?
The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
