Correct Rochelle. You are the first to get both name and meaning. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Incanus is said to have been the name given to Gandalf by the Haradrim, meaning "North-spy". But there is another explanation, too. Apparently, it is also said to mean "Mind-ruler" in Quenya.

What about Eonwe, Tilion, Arien, and Ilmare? (and I don't suppose Sauron counts either, that's not his real name, though he was originally from Aule's people, wasn't he?)

Sophia, I have to say something. I'm a great fool. I just saw she has the first couple and told her she was right, but she's not completely right.

It's Sophia's turn, sorry about that.

The 8 listed [named] Maiar: Ilmarė, Ossė, Eonwė, Uinen, Melian, Olorin, Arien and Tilion.

Now the Istari are not said [directly] to be Maiar, they only may be [but are presumed to be].

And Sauron was indeed one of the Maiar of Aulė, but his "Maiar name" is never given.

Okay, I'm going to try this...

Sindarin/Gil - 'spark'; Estel - 'hope', so 'sparkling hope'?/My guess would be Aragorn.

Earrame (I'm too lazy to go get the accent marks) means Sea-Wing. It was the name of the ship in which Idril and Tuor went west.
