📖 À propos Kaius
Kaius est une variante scandinave et moderne de Caius/Gaius, l'un des trois praenomina les plus utilisés dans la Rome antique (avec Marcus et Lucius), signifiant « celui qui se réjouit ». Son porteur le plus célèbre, Gaius Julius César, a laissé son nom si profondément gravé dans l'histoire qu'il est devenu la racine de Kaiser, Tsar/Tzar et Shah — titres de pouvoir suprême pendant deux millénaires. Gaius Octavius devint l'Empereur Auguste ; Gaius Gracchus ébranla la République. L'orthographe K- établit un pont entre l'Antiquité romaine et l'onomastique scandinave moderne.
