There is no particular term for it. For example, the middle of 1, 3, 5, 3, 1 is 5, which is the maximum while the middle of 5, 3, 1, 3, 5 is 1 which is the minimum. So what?

The number that falls in the middle of a list of numbers is the median.
median
50
more ... The "middle" of a sorted list of numbers. To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. The middle number is 15, so the median is 15. (When there are two middle numbers we average them.)
The median is the number that is in the middle of a list of numbers once this sequence has been reordered. If the numbers are 45,56,23,34,67 then the median is 45 (not 23).
