I don't follow the logic here. Ceasar literally means emperor, which is Kaiser in German.

This is like saying Tyrannosaurus rex is obviously named after king George, because rex is king in Latin.

Caesar used to be a regular Roman name, before it became synonymous with emperor.

Which Ceasar do you think of when someone says "Ceasar?"
