In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by author Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West have no names. Decades later, in 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West', author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] gives the Wicked Witch of the West the name of Elphaba Thropp and the Wicked Witch of the East the name of Nessarose Thropp.
Elphaba, Glinda, and Nessarose are the names of the witches in 'Wicked'. Elphaba and Nessarose are sisters and share the last name of Thropp. They become known as the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West, respectively. The Thropp sisters both get to know Glinda as students at Shiz University. But Glinda manages to build up a good reputation and thereby ends up as the most powerful sorceress in Oz.
In the book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum and the 1939 film, the Wicked Witch of the West had no name.In the Gregory Maguire book "Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," the Wicked Witch of the West was named Elphaba (a clever manipulation of L. Frank Baum).In the Broadway musical "Wicked," the Wicked Witch of the West is also named Elphaba.The Wicked Witch of the East had a small role in the L. Fank Baum book and the 1939 film. Her call to fame was her death, in both the book and movie.In the book by Maguire and in the Broadway musical, the Wicked Witch of the East's name was Nessarose.In the script for the MGM film, the Witch was originally called Gulcheria (after Miss Gulch).
There can be no rough Sanskrit translation, because the Wicked Witch of the West has no known middle name. In the original 1900 book edition, and in the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz', she was called the Wicked Witch of the West. It was only decades later, in 1995, that readers and viewers learned of the Witch's first and last names. In that year, Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] published 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. In that book, the Witch's name was revealed for the first time: Elphaba Thropp.

The wicked witch of the West's name is Elphaba Thropp, and her sister (the wicked witch of the East)'s name is Nessarose. and glinda's name is actually Galinda Upland, as revealed in Wicked.
Neither the book nor the movie give her any name other than "The Wicked Witch of the West." Gregory McGuire's book Wicked names her Elphaba. It comes from the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz's initials: L F B. If you sound it out, it sounds like Elphaba.

Are you perhaps looking for names for characters in a story you intend to write? If anything with "mal" or "mort" in the name might work. If you are however looking to find out if someone is an "evil witch" from their name, I wish you luck... if people had to have names that suited their character then we would have a lot less difficulty choosing our friends.

No, neither one of the Wicked Witches appears to be friends with either one of the Good Witches in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz."In the original book, the two bad witches are the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West. The two good witches are the Good Witch of the North and Glinda the Good of the South.In the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz" likewise does it seem unlikely that the two bad witches may be considered friends of the one good witch, Glinda the Good of the North.But in "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," a subsequently published prequel by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954), the two bad witches are given the names of Nessarose of the East and Elphaba of the West. Elphaba and Glinda the Good start out on bad terms, but end up fast friends. Given the roller coater start to their interaction, it is entirely believable that the two go from enmity to friendship to back to enmity.
Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, Fragile Eternity, and Radiant Shadows, and they are all really good books!
Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton played the witches in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Billie Burke (August 7, 1884 - May 14, 1970) played Glinda the Good Witch. Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985) played the Wicked Witch of the West. No one played the Wicked Witch of the East, of whom only the feet were shown sticking out from under Dorothy Gale's house.
