Title apparently used to denote the head of the Wizards in Middle-earth, originally borne by Saruman, but taken up instead by Gandalf after his return.
This title was also given to Telperion, the White Tree of Valinor; to Aredhel the sister of Turgon, for her habit of dressing in whites and silvers; and also to Elrond's mother Elwing, and to Celebdil, the snow-capped mountain above Khazad-dûm where Durin's Tower was built.
