No, omniscient, the title Kaiser comes from the name Caesar and is used in the sense of emperor. Same with the title Czar in Russia.
Caesar was the title used by the Roman emperors, coming from Julius Caesar ( in spite of Caesar never been a king nor an emperor )

You say "as used in the .. the early 20th century." So the answer's no. The Kaiser in 20th century Germany had nowhere near the dictatorial authority that a Roman Ceasar had. Also, a Roman Ceasar was considered a god or at least godlike. Not so for a Kaiser.

Kaiser is a word for emperor that is etymologically derived from the name Caesar. Caesar was Julius Caesar's name after he was assassinated it became a way of describing the emperor of Rome.

(kay sar) is the right pronounciation. But there is no Latin in the Deutch language however there is with this name. It was adopted for the fact of the popularity, and the fact that they were conquered by Caesar.

Yes, I believe Czar also comes from this root.
