No, in neither the original 1900 book edition nor in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz' are the names of the Wicked Witch of the West Elvira Gultch or of the Witch of the East Glenda the Good. In the book, the Wicked Witch of the West is given no name. In the film, she's the personality that Almira Gulch takes on in Dorothy Gale's dream.
Likewise, in the book, the Witch of the East has no name. There's a witch named Glinda the Good. But she's the Good Witch of the South, in the Red Quadling Country. In the film, the Witch of the East has no name. Glinda appears, but as the Good Witch of the North.

∙ 13y agoElphaba Thropp is the real name of the Wicked Witch of the West, and Nessarose Thropp is the real name of her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East.
Specifically, no names are supplied in the original 1900 book edition by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). Neither are any names given in the beloved 1939 film version of the book. But they are supplied decades later in "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" by author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954).
