What does the name Mediterranean mean?

It means 'in the middle of land, inland' in Latin, a compound of medius ('middle'), terra ('land, earth'), and -āneus ('having the nature of')

The name Mediterranean is derived from Latin and means “in the middle of the earth,” a reference to the fact either that it is almost entirely surrounded by land or that it was deemed to be at the center of the known world by ancient West Afro-Eurasian societies.
