Meaning & Origin of Cesare
Origin: Italian (Roman clan name Caesar).
A common claim: Often said to mean 'head of hair,' supposedly because an ancestor was born with a full head of hair -- and sometimes glossed simply as 'emperor,' since Caesar later became a ruling title. Actually: Neither is a confirmed original meaning: 'head of hair' is just one of several ancient guesses about where 'Caesar' came from, and 'emperor' reflects a much later use of the name as a title, not its origin.
