Buddha is not a name but a title for one who is Enlightened. It literally means "to wake" and become enlightened.
During my glancing at Buddhism, I write/rewrote this introduction as a way to understand and explain it better.
This was inspired by Mike Butler and buddhanet.net's Introduction to Buddhism but was largely transformed by my own hand. In particular, some phrases herein were kept intact, as they were both strong and clear. Of note, much of the last two thirds of the eightfold path is a direct copy of the original. I liked it that much.
See the cache and contemporization topics for philosophies behind why I sometimes begin with an existing work and build from there.
