Before the modern form of pencil we know today was developed, marks were made in wax with a sharp implement.
Charcoal sticks or the burnt ends of sticks were sometimes used to mark with as well
Eventually (some time in the 1500s) a natural deposit of Graphite was found in England. There was some confusion about what the graphite was and many thought it was a form of "lead." Which is where the term came from. These days the "lead" in your pencil is a combination of graphite and a clay binder.

Also the expression "Lead in your pencil" is a euphemism for an erection.

Pencil
It means that you are the smartest in that group.
Generally, it is a noun as a pencil is a thing. However it can be used as a verb when you say you want to pencil something in. This can mean to make an arrangement that is not confirmed. Something written with a pencil can be erased, and the arrangement could possibly be cancelled.
I believe it means "yellow pencil."
"un crayon" (masc.) is a pencil in French.
