Qaisar


Qaisar, also spelled Qaysar, is the Arabic version of the name Caesar and it is used as a given name in Arabia and the Islamic world. The word 'Caesar' derives from the cognomen of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar. The Roman and later Byzantine, or Eastern Roman, emperors were called Qaisar-e-Rum by the Arabs and Persians. The Ottoman Sultan Fâtih Sultan Mehmed also took the title Kayser-i Rum after conquering Constantinople, modern Istanbul, on May 29, 1453. The British monarchs also used the title Kaisar-i-Hind or Emperor of India during the late 19th and early 20th-century.
