Is post meridiem the same as postmeridian or post meridian?
Yes and no.
​
Post meridiem and postmeridian (as one word) both mean afternoon. Post meridiem is Latin, whereas postmeridian is an American word which came later.
​
Post meridian (as two words) does not typically mean afternoon. A meridian could be a line on the globe stretching between the two poles, a high point, or channels in the body along which energy runs in some medicinal practices. Post as an adjective means after, while post as a noun could be a tall stake in the ground or mail. The phrase "post meridian," could mean several things, for example "after a high point." A stretched meaning of post meridian could be "after the sun's highest point," which occurs at noon.
