'Mithrandir we called him in elf-fashion,' said Faramir, 'and he was content. Many are my names in many countries, he said. Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkûn to the Dwarves; Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incánus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not.'

It is possible, depending on which version of a note found in Unfinshed Tales that you wish to believe, that Incánus was a Quenya name of Gandalf's in Gondor about 1800 years before the Lord of the Rings. However it is also possible that it is a word in the language of Harad meaning 'North-spy'. In any case it seems clear from Faramir's statement that Mithradir was Gandalf's name in Gondor at the time of the Lord of the Rings.
After all that, I believe it's The_Elf_Girl's turn to ask a question.
