Kaiser is a surname derived from the German imperial title Kaiser (English:
emperor). The title Kaiser is in turn derived from the Latin title Caesar, which again is a derivation from the personal name of a branch of the gens (clan)
Julia, to which belonged
Gaius Julius Caesar, the forebear of the first
Roman imperial family.
The name is not especially frequent (ca. 0.05% in Germany), but it is still ranked 41st in Germany as of 2000[update]).[1] Regions in Germany where it is more frequent are
central Germany and the southern half of the
Black Forest area, and to a lesser extent
Southern Germany.[2] It is also used in Austria and the Czech Republic.
