A C-section, or cesarean section, is thought to be named after Julius Caesar, who, according to legend, was born via this surgical procedure. The term "cesarean" is derived from the Latin word "caesus," meaning "cut," reflecting the surgical nature of the procedure. However, historical accounts of Caesar's birth are not definitive, and the connection may also stem from the practice of delivering babies through abdominal incision in ancient times. Regardless of its origin, the term has persisted in medical terminology.
