There are still some names missing:
Gandalf the Grey: Gandalf means "staff Elf." This name was given to him by Men in reference to the staff he carried and the mistaken belief that he was one of the Elves. The word gandr means "staff" especially one used for magic. (Unfinished Tales: "The Istari," p. 399)
The name Gandalf appears in the Old Norse poem Voluspa as well as in the Younger Edda of Snorri Sturluson.
The Wizards had colors associated their names. When Gandalf first came to Middle-earth, his color was grey and he wore grey robes.
Gandalf the White: When Gandalf was sent back to Middle-earth after his fight with the Balrog, he was clad in white. He replaced the traitorous Saruman -- who had forsaken white for robes of many colors -- as the head of the order of Wizards.
"'Yes, I am white now," said Gandalf. "Indeed I am Saruman, one might almost say, Saruman as he should have been." The Two Towers: "The White Rider," p. 98
Olórin: Olorin was the name by which Gandalf was known as a Maia spirit in Aman. It is High-Elven from olor or olos meaning "vision, phantasy, construction of the mind." (Unfinished Tales: "The Istari," p. 396-97)
Grey Messenger When Gandalf arrived in Middle-earth he was referred to as the Grey Messenger because he was a messenger of the Valar and was clad in grey. Unfinished Tales: "The Istari," p. 389-90
Mithrandir: Mithrandir was the name given to Gandalf by the Elves. It means "Grey Wanderer" or "Grey Pilgrim" and refers to his color and his travels across Middle-earth.
Grey Pilgrim: Grey Pilgrim was the Common Speech equivalent of Mithrandir (see above). The people of Gondor referred to him by both names.
"It was these records that brought the Grey Pilgrim to us. I first saw him when I was a child, and he has been twice or thrice since then." "The Grey Pilgrim?" said Frodo. "Had he a name?" "Mithrandir we called him in elf-fashion," said Faramir, "and he was content. Many are my names in many countries, he said. Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkun to the Dwarves; Olorin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incanus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not." The Two Towers: "The Window on the West," p. 278-79
Grey Wanderer: Grey Wanderer was another Common Speech translation of Mithrandir used in Gondor. (RotK, p. 100)
Tharkûn: <br>Tharkun was the name by which Gandalf was known among the Dwarves. It was said to mean "staff man." (Unfinished Tales: "The Istari," p. 397)
Incánus: Gandalf was called Incanus by the peoples of the South. The origin of this name is not certain. A note in the Thain's Book indicates that it was a Quenya adaptation of a Haradrim word meaning "North spy." However, Incanus may have been a purely Quenya name given to him by the Men of Gondor meaning "mind ruler." The word in or id means "mind"; kan means "ruler" and cáno or cánu means "ruler, governor, chieftain." (Unfinished Tales: "The Istari," p. 399-400)
The word incánus in Latin means "grey-haired."
Gandalf Greyhame: Gandalf was called this by Eomer of Rohan:
"Gandalf!" Eomer exclaimed. "Gandalf Greyhame is known in the Mark: but his name, I warn you, is no longer a password to the king's favour. He has been a guest in the land many times in the memory of men, coming as he will, after a season, or after many years. He is ever the herald of strange events: a bringer of evil, some now say." The Two Towers: "The Riders of Rohan," p. 37 Greyhame means "greycoat" from the Old English grég or graég meaning "grey" and hama meaning "covering, garment." This is a reference to Gandalf's grey robes. ("Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings," p. 167) The White Rider: Gandalf was first called the White Rider by Aragorn in contrast to Sauron's Black Riders.
"Do I not say truly, Gandalf," said Aragorn at last, "that you could go whithersoever you wished quicker than I? And this I also say: you are our captain and our banner. The Dark Lord has Nine. But we have One, mightier than they: the White Rider. He has passed through the fire and the abyss, and they shall fear him. We will go where he leads." The Two Towers: "The White Rider," p. 104
Gandalf Stormcrow: King Theoden of Rohan called him Gandalf Stormcrow while under the spell of Grima Wormtongue.
"You have ever been a herald of woe. Troubles follow you like crows, and ever the oftener the worse ... Here you come again! And with you come evils worse than before, as might be expected. Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow? Tell me that." The Two Towers: "The King of the Golden Hall," p. 117
Láthspell: Grima Wormtongue called Gandalf Lathspell, meaning "ill news."
"Lathspell I name you, Ill-news; and ill news is an ill guest they say." The Two Towers: "The King of the Golden Hall," p. 117
Grey Fool: Gandalf was referred to as the Grey Fool by Denethor, Steward of Gondor.
"Follow whom you will, even the Grey Fool, though his hope has failed. Here I stay." The Return of the King: "The Siege of Gondor," p. 97
