Century
This page is about centuries as units of time. For other meanings of the term, see Century (disambiguation). For a list of centuries, see Centuries.A century (From the Latin cent, one hundred) is one hundred consecutive years.In all dating systems, centuries are essentially numbered ordinally. Thus, the first century of a time frame is "The First Century" and not "Century 0".There is considerable disagreement about whether to count the centennial year (e.g. 2000) as the first or last year of a century. This confusion is documented for every centennial year from 1500 onward, and almost certainly arises from the introduction of Hindu-Arabic numerals and the concept of zero to Western Europe in the twelfth century.
