This is the title of an essay and it was given in the paper of 2001, perhaps.
Is it grammatically correct?
Can we use their with everyone?

Taking it simply, it's Present Indefinite..
"Har koi apni ghaltiyun ko tajurbe ka naam de
ta he.. "
Everyone >> Singular
S or es with Verb give >> gives
Being singular in subject, there must be "his or her" replaced with "their"...But in this way, beauty of sentence will be lost..
May be it will be better to write it as "Experience is the name people give to their mistakes"..
