I'm not sure about every god being called ceasar but I know every emperor of Rome following Julius was named ceasar, and most of them were deemed gods by the senate. This was mainly because of how Roman names worked. Emporers starting with the 2nd (Augustus) used the name Ceasar as a way of linking themselves to him. It was like saying Ceasar was a god and I'm kinda related to him so what does that make me? Plus, from the days of the early republic "King" was a title the Roman people looked down upon. Using Ceasar's name in it's place was a way of being recognized as the King without being called one.
