The historical Buddha is known by several names. His original name is said to have been Siddharta Gautama (with many variations on the spelling such as Gotama). He is also known as Sakkyamuni as he belonged to the Sakkya tribe. As in Christianity there are many Buddhist traditions and some believe there are other previous Buddhas before the historical, so there are many names.
