Not sure what you mean by "in the middle of a circle". A chord must have each of its ends on the circumference of the circle. If a chord is such that is passes through the centre point of the circle, it is (the longest chord possible and is) called a diameter. Or to put it another way, a diameter of a circle is a chord which passes through the centre point of the circle.

What is a line through a circle called?

A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.

What is a line that passes through the center of a circle?

Any line that passes through a circle and touches two points on its circumference is a secant line. (Recall that a line is infinitely long.) If the line passes through the center of the circle, it is still called a secant line. Compare this to a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is called the cord of the circle. If that cord passes through the center of the circle, it is a diameter of the circle, which is the longest cord of that circle.
