Qaisar (Arabic: قَيْصَر, Persian: قیصر) is a word of Latin origin (Caesar) incorporated into Persian and Arabic vocabulary and attested in Islamic historical writings as the title used for Byzantine emperors and as an honorific. Over time the form Qaisar/Qaysar/Qaiser entered personal-name use in certain Muslim societies, especially in Persianate and South Asian contexts. The name denotes imperial stature—’emperor’ or ‘king’—and is historically attested in chronicles, biographical works, and numismatic references. It is not derived from the Quran or primary Hadith corpus but is visible in historical literature and administrative usage.
