J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth is rich with linguistic complexity, especially in character names. Gandalf, a legendary wizard, has several names that hold deep cultural meaning1<\/a><\/sup>. Mithrandir, his Elvish name, captures the essence of this remarkable being2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Mithrandir means “the Grey Pilgrim” in Elvish. It breaks down into “mith” (gray), “ran” (wandering), and “rhandir” (pilgrim)1<\/a><\/sup>. This name perfectly describes Gandalf’s role as a mysterious traveler across Middle-earth3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Gandalf arrived in Middle-earth long before The Lord of the Rings events. He was an Istari<\/b> sent by the Valar with a divine mission1<\/a><\/sup>2<\/a><\/sup>. His job was to guide and protect the free peoples against darkness.<\/p>\n

Gandalf’s other names include Thark\u00fbn (Dwarves) and Inc\u00e1nus (Harad). These names show his deep connections with different cultures1<\/a><\/sup>. They also highlight Tolkien’s incredible linguistic creativity.<\/p>\n
