Mahatma is Sanskrit for Great Soul.

Many sources state that Rabindranath Tagore first gave this title to Gandhi.

Others state that the title "Mahatma" was first given to Gandhi by Nautamlal Bhagavanji Mehta at Kamribai School in Jetpur, India.

Who gave the name Mohandas to mahatma Gandhi?

It was the other way round. He was born Mohandas Gandhi, and later the honorific title Mahatma was applied to him. Mahatma means Great Soul, and Gandhi was annoyed when people called him that. After a while, I believe he got tired of saying to people "Stop calling me that".
