It is Latin (medi + aevum) for Middle Ages. It has been called the Dark Ages but that term is falling out of favor. The Medieval period ends, I believe, around the time of the Enlightenment. The Middle Ages lasted from about AD 350 to 1450.

Medival is called medieval, because that is the correct spelling of the word.

It derives from two words that mean "middle" and "age" (or "epoc") so medieval means "having to do with the middle ages.
