Ok,here I'm posting some information:

Alatar

Alatar one of the Blue Wizards. If Alatar was his name in as Maia in Valinor i do not know but it might be so. Alatar was chosen with Pallando, the other Blue Wizard, by Oromë to go to Middle-Earth as emissaries from the Valar but Alatar`s ( And Pallando`s ) tasks lay in the far South and in Rhûn. That it became Alatar and Pallando might not be that strange, they were of Oromë`s Maiar and as such had a far better knoledge of those lands since Oromë often in the youth of Middle-Earth had travelled much in those countries.

Alatar came with Pallando as number two and three to the shores of Middle-Earth and were welcomed by Cirdan. after there arrival they journied with Saruman into the East from where they never returned and the Men of North knew very little about them save they were called Ithryn Illuin; the Blue Wizards because of there sea-blue cloth.

Gandalf
Mithrandir
Incánus
Tharkun
Olòrin.
Hasupada.

In middle-Earth Gandalf sought no renown. His triumph was in the uprising of the fallen, and his joy was in the renewal of hope. The name of Gandalf in the blessed land was Olórin. In T.A., during the adventure of Bilbo in the story "There and back again.", Gandalf found the sword Glamdring in the cave of Bert, William and Tom, and he wore it through the rest of the Third Age and in the War of the Ring. Gandalf seemed the least of the Wizards, he was less tall, and in looks more aged, grey-haired and grey-clad, and leaning onto a staff.

Mithrandir was the name he was given among the Elves and translated to our tongue it would mean Grey-Wanderer.

Incànus was the name he ( Maybe ) was given, very early after his arrival to Middle-Earth, in Gondor. Well Gandalf did not say it was given to him in Gondor, but that it was what he was called in the South.In the early years of the T.A. the ancient Gondor stretched much further down South, than in the period where the tale of the great ring-war unfurled. Men from Númenorë had explored the coasts of Middle-Earth far Southward, and settlements beyond Umbar had been established. But they were the first to be absorbed in the years to come and Harad; far or near, just means South. The name Incànus is / was a devised Quenya name, it is not a directly and original Quenya, or Sindarin, word but a constructed one, made of the Quenya elements in(id) = Mind and Kan/Cànu = ruler / governor / Chieftain. But, for whatever it is, it later became obsolete and was only remembered by the learned in Gondor. As a curiosum it can be mentioned that in the Thains Book, there was a note, saying that it is a form adapted to Quenya of a word in the tongue of the Haradrim, simply meaning North-spy.

Tharkun was the name he was given among the Dwarves and it is told to mean Staff-Man.

Hasupada was a name of him in Rohan. It derives from the old english word Hasu-, inflicted Hasw-, meaning grey or ashen.

Gandalf was wearing a blue high pointed hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf and big black boots. He had a long white beard and huge bushy eyebrows.

Third age

T.A.1000. Gandalf came to the shores of Middle-Earth as the fifth and last of the Istari around the T.A.1000 and he appeared in the West early in the 1100 century of that age. At the arrival he was welcomed by Cirdan, who from their first meeting, at the Grey Havens divined in him the greatest spirit and the wisest, and he gave to him the Red Ring Narya, he had kept safe there and had been given himself from Gil-Galad.

T.A.2850. Thráin II. is kept as prisoner in the dungeons of Dol Guldur and he perish there in torment in 2850, but before he dies Gandalf enters the dungeons and finds him. He was too far away to even remember his own name but he hands Gandalf a map and a key before he dies.

T.A.2941. Gandalf saved Bilbo and the Dwarves from Tom, Bert and William in Throllshaws. He finds Glamdring in their cave and use it later to kill the lord of the mountain-throlls in Hithaeglir. After he had brought the company to Beorn he left Thorin II, Bilbo and the other 12 Dwarves at the Forest Gate into Mirkwood. He went to the Council of the Wizards and Sauron was expelled of Dol Guldur and Mirkwood. Now Gandalf journied to the Lonely Mountain where he found dark clouds gathering and a battle being prepared.

Pallando

Pallando one of the Blue Wizards. If Palando was his name in as Maia in Valinor i do not know but it might be so since the name contains, despite the spelling of it, the Quenya word Palan = Afar, as in Palantir and Palarran the ship = Far Wanderer. Pallando was chosen with Alatar, the other Blue Wizard, by Oromë to go to Middle-Earth as emissaries from the Valar but Pallandos ( And Alatars ) tasks lay in the far South and in Rhûn. That it became Pallando and Alatar might not be that strange, they were of Oromë`s Maiar and as such had a far better knoledge of those lands since Oromë often in the youth of Middle-Earth had travelled much in those countries

Pallando came with Alatar as number two and three to the shores of Middle-Earth and were welcomed by Cirdan. after there arrival they journied with Saruman into the East from where they never returned and the Men of North knew very little about them save they were called Ithryn Illuin; the Blue Wizards because of there sea-blue cloth.

Radagast

Aiwendil.

the Brown.

Radagast after arriving to Middle-Earth as the fourth of the wizards took home at Rhosgobel, He was mainly interested; and maybe his mission was, in the care of birds, beast and plants. At least he spend his days among the wild creatures. His name is said to be a name deriving / given from the men of the vales of Anduin, the ancestors of the Rohirrim and the name Radagast means in the tongue of Númenore Tender of Beasts. His "nick-name" the Brown indicates simply his clothing who were earthen brown. His name then indicates that the Men in the upper vales of Anduin once were under some influence of Númerore but that would not be unlikely looking on the history of those people.

Radagast who was chosen by Yavanna for the task in Middle-earth. He did not contribute, as it look like, much to the overtrow of Sauron but it might be worth to remember that his task and love was for beast, birds and earth and in that strife he was not unsuccesful, he was sent out together with Curumo / Saruman but he left him right after the arrival to Middle-earth, maybe because he had a feeling that his and Sarumans will did not coop wery well and Saruman did never think higly about him, and as the only wizard besides Gandalf Radagast remained faithful to his task.

Arrived at Middle-earth around Third age 1000, what happened after the fall of Sauron is not specified but it might be thought that now the task was ended he returned to his home in Valinor as Gandalf did.

Saruman
Curunir.
Curumo.

Saruman was the name he was known under among the Northern-men in Middle-Earth and contains the word Searu / Saru meaning cunning and cunnning device. Curunir is Sindarin form given to him among the Elves in Middle-Earth and means the Man of Craft. See Curumo in Maia-Section for an explanation of that name.

Saruman was the first of the wizards to come to the shores of Middle-Earth, he was one of noble mien and bearing, with raven hair, and a fair voice and he was clad in white and great skills he had in the work of the hand. After his arrival he travelled much and with two later comming wizards, Alatar and Pallando, both clad in sea-blue many journeys he made into the South and East and travelled into far regions of Rhûn but the two blue wizards never came back from the East.

When Saruman settled in the West of Middle-Earth he was given the keys to Isengard and the tower Orthanc.

Saruman had spies placed well around and in Bree it was Bill Ferny.

During the last year of the ring-war Saruman stole food, proviant and tobacco from the Shire and brought it down the road to Sarn Ford, shipped or carried it from here to Isengaard.
