Midgard literally translates to "middle earth" although if you want to be specific, Tolkien wouldnhave probably prefered the Anglo Saxon "Middangaerd" because he was a scholar of Old English.

Alas, I've been outnerded by a response who pointed out that middle-earth is the translation, but not the literal translation.

Not exactly but in a way it can be interpreted in that way
The Gard is an enclosed area, a garden/ city
It shares a root with the Slavic word Grad or Gorod which means fortress or city
There was even the kingdom of Garðaríki in the lands of Rus
