Cesarina

Meaning

Cesarina is the feminine form of Cesar, itself linked to Caesar. The excerpts note that the origin of the Roman name Caesar is uncertain, with older theories connecting it to blue eyes, abundant hair, or even an elephant-slaying tale. In practice, Cesarina is understood as a feminine Italian name built from that Roman title-name tradition.

Origin

Fun fact

One 1913 source says Caesar as a title of honor is probably the true key to the name’s later prestige, even though its deeper origin was already uncertain.
