Caesar, derived from the Latin word 'caesar', meaning 'to cut' or 'to sever'. This name has been prominent throughout history, most notably as a title held by several ancient Roman emperors such as Julius Caesar and his adoptive heir Octavian, who later became Augustus Caesar. The use of 'Caesar' as an imperial title continued among the Byzantine Empire's rulers until the 15th century. In more recent times, the name has been popularized in literature through characters like C.S. Lewis's Pevensie siblings in "The Chronicles of Narnia" series and, perhaps most famously, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar play.
The number of births with the name Caesare fluctuated significantly between 1981 and 1987, reaching a peak of 27 babies born in 1982 before dropping to just 9 in 1987. Over this period, a total of 42 children were given the name Caesare.
