Information About

Leapling




Leaplings are people whose birthdays fall on February 29 , a date occurring only during a Leap Year . A leap day is called a Bissextile day or Intercalary (from the Latin word for leap year day).

Since a leapling's birthday falls only roughly every four years, yearly birthday celebrations are typically held on either February 28 or March 1 . Incidentally, leaplings will celebrate a Golden Birthday only in the year they turn 116.
