	Etymology of the name of Julius Caesar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His grand-nephew, Gaius Octavius duly took the name "Gaius Julius Caesar" upon his posthumous adoption in 44 BC, and the name became fused with the imperial dignity; in this sense it is preserved in the German and Russian words Kaiser and Tsar (sometimes referred to as Czar), both of which refer to an emperor.
		According to Sextus Pompeius Festus, the cognomen "Caesar" derived from caesaries, 'hair', and indicated that the founder of this branch of the family was born with a full head of hair (Julius Caesar himself was, ironically, balding).
		A third etymology, proposed by Ludwig von Doederlein, derives the name from caesius, 'grey'.
