This was also used in the U.K. in the Victorian era, I have seen it used on census returns and local records.

Never liked this name until I met someone with it. He's one of the smartest and most interesting people I've ever known. I think this name really depends on what kind of person bears it. A good personality makes it a good name.

Regarding anon below, I think Caesar is one of those names that would seem weird to pick for a baby just because it's a name that has to suit an established personality, and there's no way to judge what a baby's personality will be. When I think of Caesar I think of someone who's smart as well as level-headed and a natural leader, and that's a lot of pressure to put on a baby. And it's just a bit different enough to not be too try-hard quirky or uNiQuE.

Means hairy, gone out of use, only known by the horrible Augustus Julius Caesar.

I always thought this meant "to cut" as in why a caesarean operation to birth something through an incision is so named. With this in mind I find the idea of it meaning "hairy" a bit confusing!

Well my name is Cesar Deleon and I’ve read all the comments but from a guy named Cesar I get a lot of compliments on how cool my name is and my last name since I’m Native American. Spottedhorse is my last name but anyways, people love the name Cesar. I’ve got a lot of reputation from people and on how you pronounce my name is like the Salad or Pizza.

I know an adorable little boy named Caesar. We call him C, Seezy, Squeezy, Squeezer, C-meister, etc. He gets lots of compliments on his VERY cool and awesome name, with an interesting and good historical reference behind it. He has an afro when he doesn't have braids in ;) so hairy is a good meaning :D.

I like this name. It's not pretentious or pompous, the name has been around since before the name of Jesus so it's a pretty old name.

Seems very harsh on a little boy, and you can't get any good nicknames out of it.

Caesar Ramon Martinez was a character in the The Walking Dead, more famous in the comics. He was The Governor's right arm, but he mostly went by with just Martinez.

I was so sure it meant 'sky king' or something like that, because the 'cae' part was so similar to the Latin word for 'sky.' ;o;

This is a nice name. I don't hear it a lot and I think this spelling CAESAR is pretty awesome. I prefer the Roman spelling over CESAR, the Spanish version.

Caesar himself believed it meant 'elephant killer' from a north African language. This was because an ancestor killed an enemy elephant during the first Punic War against Carthage. An elephant appears on coins issued by Caesar.

I never knew that "Caesar" likely meant "hairy". *Very* descriptive! But is it a good description or a bad one? I could imagine giving this name to a furry dog, with that in mind.

Caesar Flickerman was that talk show host with blue hair from the Hunger Games. Stanley Tucci played him in the movie.

Not sure what's wrong the the above posters, people name their kids this all the time, just not with this spelling. I think the most common spelling nowadays is "Cesar," especially in Spanish-speaking countries, and it's not seen as pompous at all.

It IS pompous, and it sounds like a title rather than a name. Nobody could ever be like Julius Caesar, or any ancient Roman for that matter.

Julius Caesar was famously bald, and although then as now bald men had a sexy reputation, he was embarrassed about it and combed his remaining hair forward to hide his very high forehead. His laurel wreath also came in handy.
And, no, he did not burn down the Library of Alexandria. When he died, Christianity hadn't happened, and this act of vandalism was a Christian act.

It's possible Julius Caesar accidentally set part of the Alexandrian Library on fire, but it was not destroyed by Christians as Anneza has said--its final destruction was by Muslims in 642.

What sort of a pompous egomaniac would name their son this? Okay, I'm pretty sure no one would, but then again, people are crazy.

In Latin it would be pronounced ki`sar (long i, short a, emphasis on first syllable).
