Etymonline
Word Origin & History
caesarian
1923, shortening of Cæsarian section (1615); supposedly from Caius Julius Cæsar, who was said to have been delivered surgically, thus legend traces his cognomen to L. cæsus pp. of cædere "to cut." But if this is the etymology of the name, it was likely an ancestor who was so born
EXPAND(Caesar's mother lived to see his triumphs and such operations would have been fatal to the woman in ancient times). And Pliny derives his cognomen from cæsaries "head of hair," since the future dictator was born with a full one. Cæsarian section may come directly from cæsus.
