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.

What are the differences between 'Wicked' and 'The Wizard of Oz?
Well you see, The Wizard of Oz is a story mainly about Dorthy's journey and whom she meets along the way. The story is like many other fictional novels. You follow the character on their journey. However, Wicked is like the backstory about everything in the world of the Wizard of Oz. It answers many of your questions about the Wizard of Oz book. Why was the Wicked Witch of the West so wicked? What was the city of Oz like for everyone that lived there. Wicked is the story of Oz and Munchkinland before Dorothy ever showed up. It gives you back stories to all the old characters. Another difference is the content. The Wizard of Oz is appropriate for all ages and considered a family story. However, Wicked has strong content and may be to difficult for children to understand.
Why Elphaba name is never shown in The Wizard of Oz?
The name Elphaba was given to the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory McGuire, who wrote Wicked. He took L. Frank Baum's (the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) initials and sound them out phonetically. L F B, el fa ba.
