but Why The Name is MAHAKAL 

The meaning of ‘Kaal’ in Hinduism is time and the ‘Maha’ or greatness of Lord Shiva is thought to be greater than time itself. Because Lord Shiva is believed to be existing before the beginning of time, he is called Mahakaal.

 Lord Shiva is so powerful that the concept of mortal time doesn’t affect him in any way. Instead Lord Shiva has the power to end time itself, as he is the divine destroyer of the Universe and all things in it.
