📖 Sobre Kaius
Kaius é uma variante escandinava e moderna de Caius/Gaius, um dos três praenomina mais usados na Roma antiga (ao lado de Marcus e Lucius), significando "aquele que se alegra". Seu portador mais famoso, Gaio Júlio César, deixou seu nome tão profundamente impresso na história que se tornou a raiz de Kaiser, Czar/Tsar e Shah — títulos de poder supremo ao longo de dois milênios. Gaius Octavius tornou-se o Imperador Augusto; Gaius Gracchus abalou a República. A grafia K- faz uma ponte entre a antiguidade romana e a nomeação escandinava moderna.
