Its called Jainism. Derived from the word jina which means to conquor.. Mahavira got d title of Jina after he got the Kaivalya gyana, which means the supreme truth. though the orthodox jains belive that there were 24 tirthankars who founded and preached jainism, mahavira was the last and the most popular one, also, he brought many changes to the old jainism.
