what is the meaning of the name GAUTHAMI ?

Answer 1

THE WORD GAUTHAMI CAME FROM GAUTHAMA -

Gautama was one of the famous seven rishis termed Saptarshi. He was the progenitor of the Gautama gotra. He was the son of Rahugana.

All the Brahmins and non-Brahmins with the Gautama gotra are connected to Gautama rishi, either through biological descent or through spiritual lineage.

With Bharadvaja, Gautama shares a common ancestry as they are both desended from Angirasa, and sometimes they are both bracketed together under the name Angirasa.

The sons of Gautama are Vamadeva and Nodha. The 4th book of the Rig Veda is that of the Vamadeva Gautama family.

Buddha's mother, Mayadevi, passed away when he was just 8 days old. His stepmother brought him up. That is how she got the name Gautamai. One should discard individual discrimination and have only fundamental discrimination. This was the teaching of Buddha to Ananda, son of Gautami, before he attained Nirvana.-

Answer 2

Before he attained Nirvana, Buddha summoned his stepbrother Anandabuddha. Buddha’s mother Maaya Dhevi passed away on the seventh day after his birth. Shuddhodhana’s second wife Gauthami, brought up the child. Because he was brought up by Gauthami, he was named Gautama Buddha. At the age of twenty-eight, he gave up everything and became a renunciant.
