"Buddha" is a title, not a name. It means "awakened one" or "enlightened one." Buddhists believe that anyone can, by following the proper spiritual disciplines, become a Buddha.

According to tradition, the founder of Buddhism, commonly known as "the Buddha," was an Indian prince named Siddhartha Gautama.
