In the book The Wizard of Oz by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Scarecrow's origins are in "the Munchkin farmer that made' him. But Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] suggests in Wicked that the Scarecrow's origins are human: as Fiyero, the man who loves Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West, and turns into a strawman through the workings of a spell.

Answer #1 In the original book, and in the 1902/1903 stage versions of The Wizard of Oz, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] gave readers no name other than that of Scarecrow. The posthumous 1939 film version gave the Scarecrow no other name either. Answer #2 by DrQ I always thought his name was Hunk. Answer #3 Hunk was the name of one of the three farmhands who were Dorothy Gale's friends in the Kansas sequences of the 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz'. He served as the basis of the Scarecrow in the Oz dreamland sequence of the 1939 film. In the film, Hunk was real, but the Scarecrow wasn't.

No other name was given for the Scarecrow in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. Hunk was the name of the Scarecrow in the Kansas sequences of the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. Fiyero was the Scarecrow's name in the play 'Wicked', which is based on a novel that served as a much much later published prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz', by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954].
