Origin & history of Caesar1
Latin roots
Caesar comes from the Roman cognomen Caesar, of disputed etymology — possibly from the Latin caesaries meaning long hair or from caesus meaning cut (referring to delivery by Caesarean section). The name became Julius Caesars cognomen and later evolved into the title of Roman emperors and even other European rulers (Kaiser in German, Tsar in Slavic languages). As a modern American given name, Caesar has gained popularity in recent years, peaking in 2015 alongside the broader American interest in ancient Roman boys names.
