The short answer is from Wikepedia.
In many parts of the world, dinner is the main meal of a day, normally cooked food consisting of animal proteins and starch products like rice, noodles, or potatoes.
The word dinner comes from the French word diner, which means the chief meal of the day. Dinner can also mean a more sophisticated meal like a banquet. The word comes from the Latin disiunare, which means to break fast (like in the English word breakfast).

There are community adjustments. while i replaced right into a toddler we had breakfast, then lunch, then at approximately 4pm we had "tea", then approximately 7 to 8pm we had dinner. yet "tea" replaced into in basic terms that, a cup of tea and a few biscuits or a bite of cake. It replaced into no longer seen a meal, yet it replaced into not often ignored. via the way, that replaced into the only drink of tea we had all day, for some reason we did no longer have "cuppas" for the duration of the day, however we on occasion had espresso with breakfast.

Ok Rohit, ^dinner has French derivatives comes from dîner which means to dine. Actually if you have it earlier say about 17.00 hrs it is called supper derived from souper in French...cause at this time of the day peasants had a soup and it was time to go to bed.
hope this answers your query!
