Seriously, like Gandalf just means magic elf. So he's just the magic elf that wears grey. Then he's the magic elf that wears white.

Names are just that, things we observe, want or expect.

Close.

It means elf with a stick.

That's a possible translation but most people go with staff/stick for obvious reasons
