The Sanskrit word Buddha was transliterated in China as “Futou” or “Futu”, and was later often written as “Buddha”, and it is thought that this is related to the two. In Kukai's "Seireishu," the names "Buddha," "Buddhada," "Motuda," and "Motdo" appear, and in Japan too, "Buddha" later became the general transliteration of "Buddha," and came to be used to refer to outstanding practitioners, especially Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.

〘名〙 (「ほと」はBuddha、さらに、それの漢訳「仏」の音の変化したもの、「け」は「気(け)」か。「け」については、霊妙なものの意とするほか、目に見える形の意で、仏の形すなわち仏像の意が原義とする説もある)① 仏語。仏陀のこと。釈迦仏・阿彌陀仏・薬師仏などすべてにいう。※書紀（720）敏達一四年二月（前田本訓）「所祭(いはひまつ)りし仏(ホトケ)の神之心(みこころ)に祟れり」② ①の像。仏像。また、仏の画像など。※万葉（８Ｃ後）一六・三八四一「仏(ほとけ)造る真朱足らずは水たまる池田の朝臣が鼻の上を掘れ」③ 仏法。または、それを奉ずる仏教徒。※栄花（1028‐92頃）初花「ほとけの御験はかやうにこそと」④ 死者の霊。また、死んだ人。死人。※雑俳・柳多留‐六四（1813）「仏より後家には施主がたんと付き」⑤ 仏事を営むこと。※栄花（1028‐92頃）もとのしづく「あさて、仏にいと善き日なり」⑥ 僧侶を尊敬していう。→吾仏(あがほとけ)②。※源平盛衰記（１４Ｃ前）三四「さては仏(ホトケ)や、仏は何の料に、軍の城にはこもり給ひけるぞ」⑦ 慈悲心の深い人。清純で無邪気な人。また、慈悲心。転じて、気のよい人。お人よし。※浮世草子・世間胸算用（1692）三「是の内儀様は仏(ホトケ)々」⑧ (多く「吾(あ)が仏」の形で) 自分が大切に思うもの。愛しているもの。→吾仏(あがほとけ)②。※竹取（９Ｃ末‐１０Ｃ初）「我子の仏、変化の人と申ながら、ここらおほきさまでやしなひ奉る心ざしをろかならず」⑨ ひとみ。瞳孔。めぼとけ。※俳諧・鷹筑波（1638）四「目のうちにある仏ちいさし花籠にいくるつぼみはふげんさう〈正明〉」[補注]語源についてはかならずしも明確でない。梵語 Buddha は中国では「浮屠」「浮図」などと音写され、後には「仏陀」と書かれることが多く、これらとの関連が考えられる。空海「性霊集」には、「仏陀」「仏駄」「没駄」「没度」などの表記が見られ、日本でも後には Buddha の音訳としては「仏陀」が一般化し、優れた修行者、特に仏教の開祖釈迦を指す語としてはこちらが用いられるようになった。
