In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA Paribbajaka. Once when he was staying near Savatthi in Mallikas pleasance at the Samayappavadaka hall, the carpenter (thapati), Pancakanga, on his way to see the Buddha, visited him and had a conversation with him, which conversation Pancakanga later reported to the Buddha (M.ii.22f). The details are given in the Samana Mandika Sutta.
According to Buddhaghosa (MA.ii.710), the Paribbajakas original name was Sumana, but he was called Uggahamana because he had the ability to learn a few things (because he was always learning things?).
Chalmers (Further Dialogues ii.12n) suggests that perhaps his mothers name was originally Sumana and that it was altered to Samana, just as there is the further tendency to read mundika for the second part, in order to make her name mean shaveling recluse on familiar Pali analogy.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
