Right spelling for "centurian"?

What is the proper adjective for someone who is a hundred years old? I suppose it's "century" with "-ian" which eats the 'y' to become "centurian" but Goggle doesn't turn up any uses of that, and spell checkers only offer centurion which has a different meaning and is a noun.

 

Centenarian

 

Centenarian, too late.

 

Correct.

One might employ a centurion to guard the fragile centenarians.

 

And for those lucky few over 100, supercentenarian is sometimes used.

Wikipedia says "supercentenarian" is over 110. Centenerarian is >100, not exactly 100.

 

once you become 100 years + 1 sec you are greater than 100.

 

I'm thinking of a centenarian centurion ...

 

"...Wikipedia says "supercentenarian" is over 110...."

Actually, that's what I meant to say. *blushes*

HEre in Japan I went to a Kendo match and watched a player obliterate everyone. He took his helmet off and revealed himself, at least to me, as a man over 80 years old! He is the second oldest tournament practicioner in his particular style.
