What do you call two siblings born at opposide ends of the same year? Like one born in January and then the other born later in October or something? I think I heard this referred to as a type of twins

they are referred to as Irish Twins, a derogatory statement made under the impression that Irish women conceive so quickly and often after the next. It is used when the kids are born in the same year but aren't twins.

I have never heard of that calling them twins just b'cause they were born in the same year. I think that they would just be normal siblings (brothers or sisters).

I don't know what you call them but its not a type of twin. In order for you be a twin you have to be concieved at the same time and be in the same uterus.

Bobsie twins, but I think that means you look exactly alike but born different years.
Sorry not gonna waste energy to look it up on internet.
