As likely as the connection might seem to you, it's still speculation until confirmed by geek knowledge or the devs themselves. And there is no geek knowledge, since you're only working off of a similar name and a passage from an epic taken into your own context. this is my Interpretation of Gandalf with Skyrims Greybeard as you can see up there :

"and i think Gandalf is a former member Greybeard, remember the scene of the meeting of Council of Elrond , where he warns Boromir with....aaaaa.... i don't know some sort of Magic words which makes an earthquake........., this is most likely almost the same as the greybeards... right , which when they speak there will be storm and earthquake ."

while the similiar name of Greybeard up there i said is just a FUN FACT my friend....... do you even read my earlier posts....? It's not just FUN FACTS! Do you honestly think it is  coincidence that there happens to be a group of "wise old warriors" who live in a castle like building named "Hrothgar", and happens to be on the highest point in the world exactly like it is in the book Beowulf? This isn't speculation. The the location and the inhabitance of High Hrothgar are almost exactly as it was set up in the book (minus king Hrothgar). Even the vow of silence that many of the Greybeards have, it is similar to the ones in the book. The only reason you people are claiming that this is just speculation is because very few of you have read the book, or haven't read it recently.
