He is addressed by his epithet, and therefore named 'Buddha'. This is just like the Three Sovereigns and the Five Thearchs, who are called by their epithets and not by their surnames. (The Three Sovereigns are Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan. The Five Thearchs are Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Gaoxin, Tang Yao, and Yu Shun. All of them had surnames and personal names, but are only addressed by their epithets.)
