"I find myself wondering where Heren Istarion came from (the name, not the man.)"

If you mean where in Middle-earth it came from in, I have your answer: it is the name of the order of the Istari. If you meant how H-I chose the name... well, he probably just chose it because it sounds cool.

I envy the cleverness of The Squatter of Amon Rudh. The name is original & pleasant to say, & the icing on the cake is his location, 'Bar-en-Danwedh', which is synonymous with Amon Rudh while at the same time closely resembling the sound of 'Barrow-downs.' My hat is off.
