enlightened one

Siddhartha means "one who gets what he desires" In the sense that "he thinks and it happens such a powerful person. Now, Shddhodana Prince Siddhartha's father named him thus after having heard the prediction from his Court Astrolgers that his child will either grow to be powerful Emperor of a Powerful Philosopher who will take the world with him. A kShatriya his father i.e Shddhodana was not for seeing his son become a sanyasi/mendicant however great he may become as seen by the world. So, in order to preclude the possiblity of his child becoming a mendicant/recluse/ascetic Shuddhodana named him "Siddhartha" so that the repetition fo the word creates that kind of an effect, and his son would choose to become an Emperor ratehr than a recluse. Even Prince Siddhartha grew up into a fine and well rounded Price mastrering all the Martial and other arts expected of offsprings of Kings! But destiny was otherwise intended so he became The Buddha - The Enlightened One"

In Sanskrit, "Siddhartha" means "one who has achieved his goal" or "one who has attained enlightenment." It is the birth name of Gautama Buddha before he became enlightened.
