Caesar from a Roman cognomen which possibly meant "hairy", from Latin caesaries "hair". Julius Caesar and his adopted son Julius Caesar Octavianus (commonly known as Augustus) were both rulers of the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC. Caesar was used as a title by the emperors that came after them.
Saintly namesake: Caesar of Dyrrhachium was an early Christian bishop and martyr, remembered as one of the Seventy Disciples. He is honored for his leadership in the early Church. (December 9)
