Somewhere in the Books, Appendices (?) there is a quote regarding wizards and a word meaning "staff-man/men." (alatar)

Perhaps you mean Gandalf:
Gandalf . . . is an actual Norse name . . . used by me [J.R.R Tolkien] since it appears to contain gandr, a staff, especially one used in "magic," and might be supposed to mean "Elvish wight with a (magic) staff."
