Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) gives no name to the Good Witch of the North. But he includes an episode that tells of Gayelette, a powerful sorceress in northern Oz. It is possible that she is the Good Witch in her youth. In contrast is the beloved 1939 movie classic, which merges the book's two good witches, the Good Witch of the North and Glinda the Good Witch of the South, into one position description as Glinda the Good Witch of the North.
Glinda, Galinda, or no name may be the choices for the Good Witch of the North's name, depending upon the source. The Good Witch of the North has no name in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. She's a completely different person from Glinda, who is the Good Witch of the South.
In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', Glinda is called the Good Witch of the North. That also is her position description in the 1995 novel 'Wicked' by Gregory Maguire [b.

Glinda, according to the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919].

The result is Glinda as Good Witch of the North in the film, and no Good Witch of the South at all. In the movie "The Wizard of Oz" the Witch of the South was not named.
There's no such person as the Good Witch of the East. The Witches of the East and of the West come to be called the Wicked Witches. Glinda comes to be called the Good Witch. But she is neither from the east nor the west.
