Caesar is a male first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Caesar is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Caesar. In the SmartGenius ranking, Caesar is #1,901 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Caesar.
Caesar is not one of the particularly popular names. In fact in some of the last 143 years it has been given so infrequently that it doesn't even show up in our statistics (here a name is only recorded in those years in which it was given to newborns at least five times). This was, for example, most recently the case in 1905, where the name Caesar was given at most four times in the entire USA, perhaps even less or not even once. (If your name is Caesar and you were born in the USA in 1905, please get in touch with us!) Before that, however, there was a time when the name was significantly more popular - way back in the last century, Caesar even made it into the top 1,000 of our SmartGenius statistics of the most popular boys' names: In 1904, it ranked on position 531 - a popularity it has never reached again since then.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Caesar was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
Even though the popularity of the name Caesar has fluctuated in the past and there were years when the name was almost not chosen at all by expectant parents, it has without question arrived in the 21st century. In 2022, the name was given a remarkable 46 times by young parents to their newborn children and thus landed on position 2,462 in the SmartGenius ranking of the currently most popular boys' names. Nevertheless, the name is still so rare that the 46 boys named Caesar, who are celebrating their second birthday this year, can rightly feel very special, because it is most likely that in their kindergarten they will be the only children who turn around when someone calls 'Caesar'.
The odds of having a man or boy named Caesar in your home state are about the same as the chance for a white Christmas in New York City – in both cases they are less than 30%. More precisely, the first name Caesar is registered in 15 states, among which are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia or Illinois. In proportion to the male population, most men and boys with the first name Caesar live in California, but even there the name is rather special – on average, you would have to ask 14,263 men and boys in California for their name before you meet one who answers with Caesar.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter C is a frequent initial letter for boys’ names. This is because 5.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D.
With six letters, the name Caesar is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
With 5.2% of all boys' names that begin with a C, this first letter is thus much more common than the average of all letters. And which boys’ name beginning with C do you think is the most common in the US? The answer is... Charles.
If your name is Caesar and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Caesar, you can simply say:

Elephant
