What does the word Kaiser mean?

Question

Ok, I really like using the word Kaiser. I mean, it also my "Dance Dance Revolution" name "KASR". It also sounds really cool. One of my favorite yugioh monster is "Kaiser Glider." However, I've never concluded what Kaiser mean. My dad told me it's German for "Ceasar", but now I need to know what Ceasar mean. Somebody help me!!!

Answer 1

Kaiser is German for Emperor.

The word is derived from the Latin Caesar, as your father said.

It became popular as the first Frankish (early German) state founded by Charlemage in 800 AD called itself the "Holy Roman Empire", as a means of implying it was very powerful. It was therefore led by the Holy Roman Emperor.

As the ancient Roman Emperors called themselves "Caesars", the early Frankish Holy Roman Emperors did too - and the word eventually became corrupted to "Kaiser".

The Roman Emperors called themselves Caesar in honour of Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was the last leader of Rome NOT to have been an Emperor.

The first Roman Emperor, Augustus (his adopted son), started the use of title Caesar. The subsequent emperors (Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero), who were all also related to Julius Caesar continued to use this name.

After the overthrow of Nero, in AD 68-69 (the so-called "year of the four emperors" when 4 different people held the Imperial throne, the emperors (unrelated to Caesar) started using the name as a title for Emperor - to give the impression they were related to Caesar (and therefore legitimate).

Bit long, but hopefully answers your question. :)
