Saruman
The name Saruman is a Mannish translation of Quenya Curumo, his original name in Valinor as a Maia; and Sindarin Curunír which is supposedly the same name (with the ending -ndîr "man"). All names mean "Skilled Man" (root curu "skill").[source?] Saruman is derived from Old English: the root word searu means "device, design, contrivance, art" and the whole name means "man of skill". His name among the Elves was Curunír Lân (lenited glân "white").[source?]
