Caesar
1382; O.E. had casere, which would have yielded modern *coser, but it was replaced in M.E. by keiser, from Norse or Low Ger., and later in M.E. by the Fr. or L. form of the name. Cæsar was used as a title of emperors down to Hadrian (138 C.E.), and also is the root of Ger. Kaiser and Rus. tsar (see czar). He competes as progenitor of words for "king" with Charlemagne (L. Carolus), as in Lithuanian karalius, Polish krol, Hungarian kiraly. In U.S. slang c.1900, a sheriff was Great Seizer. The Caesar salad is named not for the emperor, but for Cesar Cardini, Tijuana, Mexico, restaurant owner, who is said to have served the first one c.1924.

Caesar
the title assumed by the Roman emperors after Julius Caesar. In the New Testament this title is given to various emperors as sovereigns of Judaea without their accompanying distinctive proper names (John 19:15; Acts 17:7). The Jews paid tribute to Caesar (Matt. 22:17), and all Roman citizens had the right of appeal to him (Acts 25:11). The Caesars referred to in the New Testament are Augustus (Luke 2:1), Tiberius (3:1; 20:22), Claudius (Acts 11:28), and Nero (Acts 25:8; Phil. 4:22).
