Census
Caeser in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 140 people with the first name Caeser, which placed it at #47,034 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Caeser described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Caeser at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Caeser
The name Caeser originated from the Roman family name Caesar, which derived from the Latin word caesaries, meaning "head of hair." It is believed to have been a nickname given to an ancestor of the famous Roman ruler Julius Caesar, who had a thick head of hair. The name Caeser has been in use since ancient Roman times, around the 1st century BC.
The first recorded use of the name Caeser was in reference to the Roman dictator Gaius Julius Caesar, who lived from 100 BC to 44 BC. He was a prominent military leader and statesman who played a crucial role in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His name became synonymous with imperial power and authority.
Another notable figure named Caeser was the Roman emperor Augustus Caesar, who ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD. He was the first Roman emperor and is credited with establishing the foundations of the Roman Empire. The name Caeser was later adopted by subsequent Roman emperors, solidifying its association with imperial rule.
In the Middle Ages, the name Caeser gained popularity among Christian families, especially in regions influenced by Roman culture. It was often given as a nod to the Roman heritage and in honor of the Christian martyrs who bore the name.
Throughout history, several other notable individuals have borne the name Caeser. One example is Caeser Baronius, an Italian cardinal and historian who lived from 1538 to 1607.

Another prominent figure named Caeser was Caeser Rodney, an American patriot and signer of the Declaration of Independence, who lived from 1728 to 1784. He played a crucial role in the American Revolution and is remembered for his famous ride to Philadelphia to cast a crucial vote in favor of independence.
In the world of literature, Caeser Airy, an English mathematician and astronomer who lived from 1801 to 1892, made significant contributions to the field of celestial mechanics and helped establish the longitude of the Greenwich Observatory.

The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.

Which group reports the name Caeser most often in the Census?
Hispanic is the largest reported group for people named Caeser in the 2020 Census, accounting for 64.3% (90 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Caeser in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Caeser a male name?

Is Caeser still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Caeser in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Caeser can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
