According to this online Czech-English dictionary: http://www.wordbook.cz/ it's král.

The word for king in some Slavic languages (Czech, Serbian "kral", Polish "krol", Russian "korol") are derived from the personal name of Charlemagne.

The Russian word "czar" is derived from the family name of Julius Ceasar.
