Nazgul is from the black speech:
Nazg = Ring (Ash Nazg=the one Ring) Gul = Wraith, or possibly sorcerer. (Sindarin 'Gul' is Sorcerer/Sorcery) They would have originally been 'Ring Sorcerers', but as they faded they became 'Ring Wraiths'. Either translation is applicable (Inconclusinve on which is literallyu correct) Tolkien never named or placed them except for Khamul (the easterling). Now I'll shock you by going out of the canon, but ICE created names for them, and one was female. I believe The Tolkienist had a list of the MERP nazgul characters. I'm not sure if the URL is right. In any case, I don't like that site much (Or any site that equates middle earth with pentagrams, for that matter)

One of the Ringwraiths was from the East (this was Khamûl, 'the Shadow of the East'). I think three were said to be Black Númenóreans (the Witchking I think was one). I think they were all male.

I thought Nazgul was the name for them AFTER their land horses died and they got the Wing Beasts. In other words I though Nazgul meant Winged Ringwraiths.

The Nazgul are not named as such until they have winged steed sin Lord of the Rings, but I seem to remember that they were called Nazgul and Ulairi in the Sil. What's a Ulairi anyway? Ringwraith in Sindarin or sumfing?

Or 'Ringwraiths' anyway. Noone knows what the singular is, possibly 'Ulair'.

No, he calls them "Ringwraiths" or the "Nine" in the Shadow of the Past , but Radagast does use the term, in a whisper.

'Nazgul' could be one or both, as Blackspeeck wasn't nescessarily picky about plurals.

I just got finished searching Helge Fauskanger's Ardalambion Adunaic page for 'Ulairi' and couldn't find it. I did find it, in the Quenya Corpus Wordlist:

C'mon folks!
Are we all forgetting the most well-known poem of all time?
Three rings for Elven Kings... Seven for Dwarf Lords... Nine for mortal MEN... Seems to me, they(The Nazgul) would all be men
