Hendeuplets are a type of multiple birth in which a woman gives birth to five offspring at one time. This term is derived from the prefix "hend," which indicates five, and "uplets," referring to offspring or births. Hendeuplets are extremely rare and typically involve significant medical and logistical challenges for both the mother and the infants. Such occurrences often attract considerable media attention due to their uniqueness and the complexities involved in caring for multiple newborns simultaneously.

Eleven babies born at the same time are typically referred to as "undecaplets." The prefix "undeca-" is derived from the Greek word for eleven, "hendeka." This term is used to specifically denote a group of eleven siblings born in a single birth event.
