O_0 That's so many names...
Ok, let's start with the "Blackstaff": Blackstaff is the title and name given to the master of the eponymous staff and Blackstaff Tower and the Archmage of Waterdeep.“Blackstaff” was originally a nickname given to Khelben Arunsun because of his powerful staff of the same name. And now the man with the names:He was born in Myth Drannor. He's father followed an ancient elven custom and did not give him a name upon his birth. He remained unnamed even at the age of 12 when he started to learn the ways of magic (His nameless origin followed him as he came to be known as "The Nameless Chosen").He'd collected a number of nicknames though. Among some commoner elves he was known as "Biir". Some elven nobles named him "Zenar", while his elven friends simply called him "Bhin". When He left Myth Drannor he took the only name he was proud of: Arun's Son (Arunsun).
So my answer is: Only The Gods may know he's full name after all, but I'm pretty sure all the living creatures on Toril who knows him, knows him as Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun.
