Cassar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cassar is a common Maltese surname.
The distinguished surname Cassar can be traced back to the ancient and beautiful region of Sicily, which is located off Southwestern Italy and incorporates the island of Sicily itself, the area of Naples, and the southern part of the Italian peninsula. The surname Cassar was derived from the given name "Cesare," and originally derived from the famous Roman family name "Caesar." In Classical times, the name "Caesar" was associated by folk etymology with the Latin Caesaries (head of hair).
The Maltese Cassar coat of arms has the Latin word "SPES" inscribed on it which means "hope" in Latin.
