Kaiser (surname)
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 ). 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. It is also used in Austria and the Czech Republic. Variation spellings rooted in the Kaiser surname are Kayser, Keiser, Kiser, and Kyser. Dutch cognates of the surname include Keizer, (De) Keijzer, (De) Keyser, and Dekeyser.

Kaiser
''Kaiser'' is the German word for "emperor" (female Kaiserin). In general, the German title in principle applies to rulers anywhere in the world above the rank of king (''König''). In English, the (untranslated) word ''Kaiser'' is mainly applied to the emperors of the unified German Empire (1871–1918) and the emperors of the Austrian Empire (1804–1918). During the First World War, anti-German sentiment was at its zenith; the term ''Kaiser''—especially as applied to Wilhelm II, German Emperor—thus gained considerable negative connotations in English-speaking countries. Especially in Central Europe, between northern Italy and southern Poland, between western Austria and western Ukraine and in Bavaria, Emperor Franz Joseph I is still associated with "Der Kaiser (the emperor)" today. As a result of his long reign from 1848 to 1916 and the associated Golden Age before the First World War, this title often has still a very high historical respect in this geographical area. ...
