What does "AH" mean?

AH stands for Anno Hegirae in Latin, which translates to "in the year of the Hijrah." It represents the number of years that have passed since the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrated from Makkah to Madinah.

Lunar vs. Solar

The Islamic calendar is purely lunar. A lunar year is about 354 or 355 days long, which is roughly 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year. This is why Islamic dates like Ramadan and Eid cycle through all seasons every 33 years.
