How did the Mediterranean get its name?

The earliest Jews and ancient Greeks called the Mediterranean Sea "sea" or "sea" for short. Because ancient people only knew that this sea was located between three continents, it was called "Mediterranean". English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and other languages are all spelled from the Latin MareMediterraneum, in which "medi" means "between" and "terra" means "land", and the full name is "the ocean in the middle of land". This name first appeared in ancient books in the 3rd century. In the 7th century AD, the Spanish writer Isir took the Mediterranean as a geographical name for the first time.
