Imperator is, roughly, Latin for "commander" (imperium being the power to command). It is the origin for our word Emperor. Though it was not used exclusively by Roman Emperors, who adopted a number of titles -- chief among them princeps, dominus, and basileus in the East.

Also, according to some sources, it's the class name of the common Star Destroyer of the original trilogy.
