The name of the city of Kayseri is Caesarea in Latin, and the name καισαρία (kaysaria) in Greek is Turkish. Their former names are Mazaka and Kaisareia (French Césarée) ...

Russian rulers adopted the title of Russian tsar (Russian: цар, tsar), which is the Russian form of Caesar, shortly after the conquest of Istanbul by the Turks in 1453. The aim of naming is to resist the claim of the Ottoman sultans to become heirs to the Greek Cypriot and to claim the inheritance of the Byzantine throne.
