Цар usually. Tsar in English.

Yeah, as part of a process of the unwanted and unwarranted americanisation of political discourse. Someone was recently appointed as a 'Poverty Tsar'. lolz.

What language does "czar" come from? I used to think it was Polish, but the Polish word is "car".

It's a combination of Polish and German.
