Caesar (Latin: [ˈkae̯.sar] English pl. Caesars; Latin pl. Caesares; in Greek: Καῖσαρ Kaîsar) is a title of imperial character. It derives from the cognomen of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar. The change from being a surname to a title used by the Roman emperors can be traced to AD 68, following the fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Another title often used was caesaraea (Greek: καισᾰ́ρειᾰ, kaisáreia), the female form of caesar. In Greek, a common title was βᾰσῐ́λῐσσᾰ (basílissa), the female form of basileus, and αὐτοκράτειρα (autokráteira), the female form of autokrator (the Greek equivalent to imperator).
