What is meaning of Buddha and how he called Buddha?
score:4
Does people started call him Buddha ?
It's according to the suttas that he told people to remember him as "Buddha". For example, at the end of the Dona Sutta (AN 4.36):
Remember me, brahman, as 'awakened.'
... and so, brahman, I'm awake.
Alternatively the Dharmafarer translation of this sutta:
Therefore, brahmin, remember me as the Buddha.”
... therefore, brahmin, am I buddha.
The Pali for that last line:
tasmā buddho’smi brāhmaṇâ ti
"Buddha" isn't the only word used; for example there's also tathagata.
