==Etymology== The term "supercentenarian" has been used since 1832 or earlier. Norris McWhirter, editor of The Guinness Book of Records, used the term in association with age claims researcher A. Ross Eckler Jr. in 1976, and the term was further popularised in 1991 by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their book Generations.
