The word ‘Dinner’ used to refer to breakfast. The word “dinner” comes from the Old French word “disnar”, which in fact means “breakfast”.
So how did this word that meant breakfast end up being pushed back in the day to describe the meal latest in the day? Traditionally dinner (meaning ‘breakfast’) was the first meal of the day, eaten around noon. It also happened to be the biggest meal of the day, with a lighter meal coming later known as supper. Eventually, more meals started being added to the day with people eating meals before the large noon meal of dinner. Rather than calling these earlier meals that broke the fast by the word that means breakfast (dinner), the name “dinner” now stuck as meaning the largest meal of the day.
As time has passed, in most cultures that use these words to describe their meals, the largest meal of the day gradually got moved later and later in the day until its meal time was around the time we used to have supper (which used to be a light meal). So gradually this meal that bears the name (translated) “breakfast” is now the meal we eat before we start the fast and the literal translation of “dinner” is now the word we used to describe our early morning meal of breakfast. In most cultures where this shift has happened, “supper” is now considered to be the proper name for a midnight snack.
It should be noted that there are still many cultures that use these words to describe their meals that don’t go by the “Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner” name scheme; rather, they now go with “Breakfast, Dinner, Supper”, choosing to refer to lunch as “Dinner”. In which case the meal bearing the name “Dinner” didn’t move at all. Just one extra meal got added earlier in the day.

When I was a kid, we always called the late meal supper - not dinner.

Thanks for sharing. It was interesting read on the history of dinner and how much our eating habits having changed with time.

Bill, you remind me about, when I was a kid, and our family would visit relatives, and they would have that huge meal between lunch and dinner, that we had trouble adjusting to. So funny the culture of meals and eating. Thanks for that!

Growing up on the farm it was breakfast, dinner, and supper.

I'm glad others are remembering that as well. :) Eating a big meal before bed seems like a good way to gain weight, doesn't it? Especially since we've been HUNGRY all day. I really overdo it for 'supper' if I don't eat a big breakfast or Noon meal.

In the south you will still occasionally hear breakfast dinner and supper. I got out of that habit because it confused people elsewhere which meal I was referring to and some would make fun of me lol. However I learned that was traditional 19th century queen's English among the upper classes who had three meals a day, so now I feel I can say supper and feel snotty about it lol.

Back in the day -- in Minneapolis with a strong farming background we had three meals per day -- breakfast, lunch, and supper.
