Emperor is the monarch or the ruler of an empire. He is the male head of the state. He reigns till the end of his life. He is the supreme authority of an empire and is the symbol of the state. This word is often associated with dictator or a king but there are subtle differences between these words. Emperors are above kings in rank and honour and though the supreme authority of the empire may not the dictatorial in approach.
This word began with titling of the sovereigns of the Holy Roman Empire. This word originates from the roman word imperator which means "power of the sword". After Charlemagne this term was used to denote his descendants or the heirs of the throne. But it has religious connotations and this title cannot be used until they were anointed by a coronation ceremony.
