公元 (gōngyuán) is used to refer to the Christian era, A.D. It is used to indicate that a date is after the birth of Jesus Christ. For example, 公元2020年 (gōngyuán 2020 nián) means the year 2020 A.D. It is often used in contrast to 公元前 (gōngyuán qián), which is used to indicate that a date is before the birth of Jesus Christ. For example, 公元前100年 (gōngyuán qián 100 nián) means the year 100 B.C.

Hi! 公元 is short for 公历纪元 (gong1li4 ji4yuan2). 公历 is "the Gregorian calendar", and 纪元 is "beginning of an era". I hope this short explanation can help you!
