The power of a name

America has had 44 presidents and among those 44, three family names show up twice,Adams,Roosevelt and Bush. I guess that says something about power.America must have thousands of family names. But consider this, one man's name became not only a household word, a personal name, it became a title itself. Consider Gaius Julius Caesar. Not a "Caesar" himself, but a Roman politician who held various important Roman offices and titles. His final title(before deification) was dictator or life. His clan name was Julius, Caesar was an attribute(fine curly hair) that became sort of a family name within the Julian clan. His successor Octavian was Caesar's adopted son and immediatly after Caesar's death, Octavian insisted on being addressed as Caesar. So powerful, dominant and influencial he was in age that by the time of his death, he was no longer just another member of the Caesar family, but The Caesar. He defined the word so well that his successor insisted upon using it to convey the authority he felt was willed to him. It became one of the names of all Roman rulers afterwards. Both Julius and Octavian(Augustus) gave their names to titles in the late empire, Augustus strangly being the senior and Caesar the junior. But Caesar stuck. It became Kaiser and Tsar. The Ottoman emperor in his array of titles included casar of Rum(Rome). The deinetly left us a legacy.
