What was the bad witch's name on Wizard of Oz?

Answer 1

It's kind of the point of the story/play that she isn't actually "bad". In fact, it's arguable that the "Good" witch, Glinda, is the true villain.

However, assuming you're talking about the green one ... her given name is Elphaba.

Answer 2

There were two witches who were presented as bad in the 1900 book edition, and the 1939 film version, of The Wizard of Oz. One was called the Wicked Witch of the East. She died when Dorothy Gale's house landed on top of her. The other was called the Wicked Witch of the West. And she died when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her, and thereby melted her to nothingness. The two witches remained nameless until three-quarters of a century after the book edition, and 36 years after the film version, of The Wizard of Oz. For Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] wrote Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, in 1995. Readers of the book, and viewers of the 2003 stage version by Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948], have learned that the Wicked Witch of the East was named Nessarose Thropp, and that her sister Wicked Witch of the West was named Elphaba Thropp.
