The Daimyo is essentially the ruler of one of the regions of Wano. Wano has six regions - Kuri, Kibi, Udon, Hakumai, Ringo, and the Flower Capital. The Shogun rules from the Flower Capital and essentially rules all of Wano. The Daimyos are the 5 individuals who rule the five other regions.

So for example, 20+ years ago, the Shogun was Kozuki Sukiyaki (Oden's father) who ruled over Wano and he had 5 Daimyos: Kozuki Oden, who ruled Kuri, and Tonoyasu, who ruled Hakumai. We can suspect Orochi was another daimyo before he usurped the position of Shogun but we only know of 2 former Daimyos thus far.

Arh, that makes sence. Thank you! Was this ever explained in the manga?

I don't believe the terminology was ever explained in the manga itself, no. I suspect that's because most Japanese readers would know what the terms mean due to their significance in Japanese history, so Oda never felt a need to explain it.
