All male rulers in the magical land of Oz are called Oz in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the magical land of Oz is the invention of author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). Male rulers of the magical land just over the rainbow are called Oz, and female rulers are called Ozma. There is a succession crisis when the hot air balloon of a Nebraska magician lands in Oz. The magician's name is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, but his nickname is Oz. So he fits right in.

They were the initials on the bottom drawer of Baum's filing cabinet that caught his eye when searching for a name for the imaginary land.

The Wizard's full name (in Omaha) is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. He went by Oz because the rest of his initials spell out PINHEAD.

The name of the hereditary male rulers of the magical lands visited by Dorothy and Wizard's nickname are what Oz is in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the Wizard lands in Oz during a leadership crisis. All male rulers have the name Oz and all female the name Ozma. But wicked witches get the better of the last Oz and hide his daughter Ozma. The leaderless Ozites consider it a rule meant to be when they discover that the newly landed stranger is nicknamed Oz.

Ruler over the Ozites, resident builder of the Emerald Palace, ideator of the Wicked Witch of the West's demise, humbug problem-solver and escape artist are the roles of Oz in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the Wizard resides in the Emerald City that he builds to rule over Ozites from their capital, the Emerald City. He gets Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto and their three friends to kill one of his enemies, the Wicked Witch. He fakes giving to her three friends what they each already have. He ends up leaving unsolved Dorothy's problem of how to get back to Kansas. So throughout all his roles, the Wizard acts as a negative example of depending on others and as proof that things best are done yourself.
