The name of the Good Witch of the North is Glinda. However, we find out in the musical Wicked that her childhood name was Galinda, and her surname is Upland. But in The Wizard of Oz, her name is Glinda.

Nameless in the book and Glinda in the film is the name of the Witch of the North in "The Wizard of Oz."

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. June 9, 1954] and the 2003 musical by Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948] and Winnie Holzman [b. 1954]. But in the novel and the musical, her name first is 'Galinda' and then 'Glinda'.

Glinda, according to the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919]. The posthumous 1939 film version consolidates Glinda's position with that of the book's unnamed Good Witch of the North. 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.

Who is Gilda in The Wizard of Oz?

Answer #1 In the film she was the good witch of the north. In the book she was the good sorceress of the north. Answer #2 The name is Glinda. In the book The Wizard of Oz, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] makes her the Good Witch of the South, and leaves nameless the Witches of the East, North, and West. In his stage version of 1902-1903, he gives the Good Witch of the North the name Locasta. In the film version of 1939, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North, and presumably no one is the Good Witch of the South. And that also is how she's described by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954].

What are the names of all four witches in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

According to the 1900 edition of the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum, there are four witches in the land of Oz. Two witches are wicked, and remain the nameless Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. But their names are revealed decades later, when Gregory Maguire gives them the names Elphaba Thropp of the West, and Nessarose Thropp of the East.Two witches, in the lands of Oz, are good. The Good Witch of the South is ka Glinda. The Good Witch of the North remains nameless. Or does she? Later in the book, the Winged Monkeys tell the tale of Quelala and his wife Gayelette, a beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Is Gayelette a third good witch? Or is she the older Good Witch of the North in her youth? And to complicate things even further, according to the 1902/1903 stage version of the book, which also was authored by Baum, the Good Witch of the North is ka Locasta.In the movie, Glinda is the Good Witch of the North. The Wicked Witch of the East and the Wicked Witch of the West have no names in the movie version of "The Wizard of Oz."In Gregory McGuire's book Wicked, he names the Wicked Witch of the West Elphaba (from the author of the Wizard of Oz's initials, LFB) and the Wicked Witch of the East Nessarose. Galinda, who becomes known later as Glinda, is the good witch.
