What is the meaning of the name Czar ?

The baby name Czar is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced ZAR (pronounced "zar", IPA: /zɑr/ or /zɑːr/).

Czar is Slavic in Origin.

Czar derives from Latin Caesar via Greek Kaisar and entered the Slavic world as tsar’ (царь). In English, the older spelling czar alternates with tsar and tzar; all point back to the imperial epithet meaning emperor or sovereign. The term passed through Old Church Slavonic and into Russian, Bulgarian, and Serbian, where a shortened form - tsar - stood alongside longer forms related to Caesar, preserving the sense of supreme rulership.

As a title, it was borne by rulers of Bulgaria and Serbia in the medieval era and by Russian monarchs from Ivan IV (1547) until the 1917 abdication of Nicholas II. As a given name, Czar is a modern, rare, boldly styled choice, sometimes appearing in the Philippines and the Anglophone world. Spelling variants include Tsar and Tzar; feminine counterparts are Czarina/Tsarina. Cognate or related names include Caesar, Cesar, Cezar, Cesare, and the German Kaiser - each echoing the same imperial root.
