@Flum_Nugget the word “Buddha” literally means the awakened one, Gautam was indeed a real person, he is Buddha because he reaches enlightenment just like wukong. Gautam was the founder of the teachings of Buddha, which is the path to enlightenment, those who gain enlightenment, reach nirvana and thus becoming awakened which akin to becoming Buddha. Buddha is a title not a name.
