Yes, there were sent five Istari to Middle-earth. Their names were Olorin (Gandalf), Curumo (Saruman), Aiwendil (Radagast), and the two Blue Wizards (Ithryn Luin), named: Alatar and Pallando. These names are the names they had in Valinor and these are the only names which they had that are known to us for they had no names in the ME (at least not in the parts of ME of which the tales tell).
When they came to ME, Saruman went eastwards with Alatar and Pallando. Saruman returned and settled in Orthanc, Isengard. What has happened to the Blue Wizards is not known for sure, but in UT Christopher Tolkien writes the following: Quote:
Curumo was sent by Aule Aiwendil was sent by Yavanna Alatar and Pallando were sent by Oromë (for he had the greatest knowledge of the Valar about the far distant realms) Ithaeliel - Aiwendil is the Quenya name of Radagast (meaning 'lover of birds'). This was his name on Aman. I don't know his Sindarin-name in Middle-earth. I doubt if it mentioned somewhere. greetings, lathspell
