From Latin, abbreviation of Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) (English: et alii) and its forms and derivatives.

et al.

1. And others; to complete a list, especially of persons, as authors of a published work.

Formally preferred by some over etc. for lists of people in all contexts, reserving etc. for lists of things (inanimate objects); the distinction is sometimes ignored in casual use, and the two abbreviations are used synonymously in many contexts for completing lists except in very careful or formal use. However, in lists of authors of a published work, et al. is still regularly used.
