Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Formed in English by combining the prefix mid- (from Old English midd) with Atlantic (derived from the Atlantic Ocean, named after the mythical continent of Atlantis). Originally used geographically in the 19th century to describe the central region of the Atlantic Ocean, its usage expanded in the 20th century to refer to the central coastal states of the United States and to a hybrid accent blending American and British speech patterns.
