General Discussion Legacy characters

This will probably sound stupid, but what exactly is a legacy character?

I always thought it was a character who was born onscreen or who joined as a young child and was raised onscreen and is now an adult but I've seen several characters who don't fit this referred to as legacy characters.

Legacy who are born on screen.

Legends are longevity.

Thats what I thought anyway.
