Detailed explanation-1: -The term Buddha literally means enlightened one, a knower. Buddhists believe that a Buddha is born in each aeon of time, and our Buddha-the sage Gotama who attained enlightenment under the bo tree at Buddh Gaya in India-was the seventh in the succession.
Detailed explanation-2: -He died in Kushinagar, attaining parinirvana. The Buddha has since been venerated by numerous religions and communities across Asia. A couple of centuries after his death, he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means “Awakened One” or “Enlightened One."
Detailed explanation-3: -The term Buddha is derived from the root budh ‘to wake up’, ‘to know’. Hence Buddha literally means ‘one who is awakened’, ‘the enlightened one’. Buddha is an enlightened person who is absolved from all existence by perfect knowledge of truth, and who reveals to the world the method of obtaining the Nirvāṇa.
