Bethberry says "Olorin, the wisest of the istari, is another name for Gandalf."

Help me out here because I thought Saruman was the head wizard before he became power-mad. Didn't Gandalf say "Saruman the White is the greatest of my order" and look to him for council in "The Council of Elrond" chapter of FotR? So did Gandalf get the name Olorin after Saruman's fall?
