Ultra-Supercentenarian

This is a new word that can be used to describe people who are 120 and older. So far there has only been one person to have gotten to this point. That person was Jeanne Calment who died at the age of 122 years 264 days as the oldest person ever. In the future though, due to the increasing life expectancy more people will reach this age. Since centenarian is used to describe someone who is 100-109 and supercentenarian is used to describe someone who is 110 and older then there should be another word used to describe 120 and older and supercentenarian should be used to describe people 110-119. This would then make Jeanne Calment the first validated and undisputable ultra-supercentenarian. There have been other claims of this age but so far none of them have been validated. To see a list of these claims go to List of longevity claims or list of longevity myths (130+).
