"Mahākāla is a Sanskrit bahuvrihi of mahā ("great") and kāla ("black"). The literal Tibetan translation is "Nagpo Chenpo" (Wylie: gnag po chen po) though, when referring to this deity, Tibetans usually use the word "Gonpo" (mgon po) [the translation of the Sanskrit word Nāth meaning "lord" or "protector"] instead." - Wikipedia
