Default What does midsummer actaullt mean?

I've always understood midsummer to be the 24th June,
So if summer starts on the 21st, then it officially ends on the 27th. For
the UK, sounds about right to me.

Surely it can't mean the middle of summer as my calendar says the 21st is
the official start of summer. So where has this come from?
