German for Caesar, because apparently every empire needs its own fake Roman.
means A German or Austrian emperor — most famously the rulers of the German Empire before it collapsed in 1918.
from Straight from German Kaiser, which descends from the Latin title 'Caesar.' After Julius Caesar's name became a byword for supreme ruler, it was borrowed into Germanic languages (and, separately, into Russian as 'tsar') as a generic word for emperor — so a kaiser is literally a linguistic descendant of a dead Roman dictator's surname.
