Siddhārtha Gautama was the original name of Buddha -(c.485-405 bce)
Name of the historical Buddha. Siddhārtha (meaning ‘one whose aim is accomplished’) was his personal name, and Gautama his clan or family name. His dates are still uncertain, but recent scholarship inclines to the dates shown as opposed to the more conventional ones of 563-486 bce (see Date Of The Buddha). He was born into a noble family of the Śākya clan, and for this reason came to be known also as Śākyamuni (the sage of the Śākyas). His father was Śuddhodana and his mother Māyā. According to Buddhist sources his father was king of the city of Kapilavastu, which was located just inside the southern border of present-day Nepal.-

Siddhartha.SiddhÄrtha Gautama (Sanskrit; Pali: SiddhÄttha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from ancient India and the founder of Buddhism.[1] He is universally recognized by Buddhists as the Supreme Buddha (SammÄsambuddha) of our age. The time of his birth and death are uncertain: a majority of 20th-century historians date his lifetime from circa 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but some more recent scholars have suggested dates around 410 or 400 BCE for his death.[2] This alternative chronology, however, has not yet been accepted by other historians.[3][4]
Gautama, also known as Shakyamuni (“sage of the Shakyas”, in Pali "Åakamuá¹i"), is the key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules were summarized after his death and memorized by the sangha. Passed down by oral tradition, the Tripitaka, the collection of discourses attributed to Gautama, was committed to writing about 400 years later.
