Supercentenarian
someone who has lived to or passed their 110th birthday
A supercentenarian is someone who has lived to the age of 110 years or more, something achieved by only one in a thousand centenarians. A very small number of supercentenarians have lived to be 115. Early uses of the word meant a person well over 100, but now it is just known as people who are 110 or older.
Thomas Johhanes Peters (1745 - 1857) is the first undisputed supercentenarian case in history.
Jeanne Calment (1875 - 1997) had the world's longest verified human lifespan at 122 years, 164 days.[1]
Jiroemon Kimura (1897 - 2013) is the longest lived documented man at 116 years, 54 days.[2]
