all questions of who coined the word "mahatma" is END with the most final answered.
Mahatma is the honorific. The title means "Great Soul". Gandhi's full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Rabindranath Tagor, a well-known writer in India at the time gave Mohandas Gandhi the title "mahatma" meaning great soul.
Mahatma Gandhi was involved in politics, not religion. His work to end the British colonization of India was political in nature and it did not influence Hinduism - despite the fact that "Mahatma" is a religious title, meaning great soul. (His actual name was Mohandas Gandhi.)
This is a very common name in India, not unlike the name Smith among English speakers. Many people in western cultures think only of the Mahatma (a title meaning Great Soul) when they hear the name. Mahatma Gandhi's name was Mohandas, and he was of course a male. Indira, who was, I believe, not related to the Mahatma, was a female. She was the first and only female Prime Minister of India.
Mahatma is the honorific. The title means "Great Soul". Gandhi's full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Mahatma is a title given to him, a title which he did not like. It means "Great Soul".
Mahatma Gandi, Mahatma is his first name. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was his full name. Mahatma was an honorary title.

Indian poet and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore is credited with giving the title "Mahatma" to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi during their first meeting in 1915.
Mahatma Gandhi, born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was commonly referred to as Mahatma, which means "Great Soul" in Sanskrit. This title was given to him in recognition of his role as a leader in India's nonviolent independence movement. Gandhi is also known by the honorific "Bapu," which means "Father" in Hindi, a term of endearment and respect from the people of India.
Rabindranath Tagor, a well-known writer in India at the time gave Mohandas Gandhi the title "mahatma" meaning great soul.
It was the other way round. He was born Mohandas Gandhi, and later the honorific title Mahatma was applied to him. Mahatma means Great Soul, and Gandhi was annoyed when people called him that. After a while, I believe he got tired of saying to people "Stop calling me that".
Mahatma Gandhi was involved in politics, not religion. His work to end the British colonization of India was political in nature and it did not influence Hinduism - despite the fact that "Mahatma" is a religious title, meaning great soul. (His actual name was Mohandas Gandhi.)
No They aren't same. They are two different persons. Mrs. Indira Gandhi was daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru and Kamala Nehru. She married Feroze (khan) Gandhi the adopted son of Mahatma Gandhi. She was the first women and third Prime Minister of independent India. Mahatma Gandhi alias Mr.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a great Freedom fighter and is called the "Father of Nation" of Independent India. He was conferred the title Mahatma because of the various sacrifices he had made for humanity and for the freedom of the nation. kvr
