Was dinner in the middle of the day in the past? Because middag sounds a lot like midday.

There's a really long, but enlightening discussion of the etymology of 'middag' earlier in this course.

Yes, and we still have the word "midnatt" in the literal sense, but middag only means dinner now

In the eastern part of the US they call the mid day meal dinner instead of lunch. And the evening meal is then supper.
