Russian rulers have had many and varied titles since Rurik established the Russian state.

Grand Duke or Grand Prince were both common titles.

Ivan III (the Great) was the first to use the title Tsar (Tzar, Csar or Czar), a Russification of the Roman word Caesar.

By the time the Romanovs had come to power, it was the standard title applied to all Russian rulers.
