Caesar (title)
Caesar (English Caesars; Latin ''Caesares'') is a title of imperial character. It derives from the ''cognomen'' of Julius Caesar, the Roman dictator. The change from being a familial name to a title adopted by the Roman Emperors can be dated to about AD 68/69, the so-called "Year of the Four Emperors".
==Onomastic root==
Although the etymology of the name of Julius Caesar is not known with certainty, many scholars believe that it was simply a use of the Latin expression ''caesar'' meaning ''hairy''.〔Aldrete, Gregory S.: ''( Daily Life In The Roman City: Rome, Pompeii, And Ostia )'', pg. 145, Greenwood Press, 2004, ISBN 978-0-313-33174-9〕 The Julii Caesares were a specific branch of the ''gens Julia''. The first known bearer of the name was one Sextus Julius Caesar, praetor in 208 BC, who might have been conspicuous for having a fine head of hair (alternatively, given the Roman sense of humour and Julius Caesar's own receding hairline, it could be that the family branch was conspicuous for going bald).〔Cokayne, Karen: ''(Experiencing Old Age in Ancient Rome )'', pg. 14, Routledge, 2003, ISBN 0-415-29914-4.〕
The first Emperor, Caesar Augustus, bore the name as a matter of course; born Gaius Octavius, he was posthumously adopted by Caesar in his will, and per Roman naming conventions was renamed "Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus" (usually called "Octavian" in English when referring to this stage of his life).
