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.
What does Dorothy steal from the Wicked Witch of the West?
Answer #1Well, your question is a bit deceiving. While the answer might seem obvious, it is not really, as Dorothy Gale did not actually steal the notorious magical silver shoes - or ruby slippers, as played in the movie - from the Wicked Witch of the West. She removed them from the lifeless body of the Wicked Witch of the East, her sister, just after that body went "Poof!" While the Wicked Witch of the West seriously desired those shoes (slippers), they never truly belonged to her from which to then be later stolen. What Dorothy really "stole" from WWW was the life of WWE...Answer #2The Golden Cap, with which the Wicked Witch of the West had summoned the winged monkeys; and food for the journey to the Emerald City. Both were in the Witch's cupboard in her Yellow Palace. Dorothy removed them after the death of the Wicked Witch of the West.Answer #3She also stole the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West after the witch died. She took the broom back to the Wizard. That was her deal with the Wizard. If she brings back the broom of the WWW, then the Wizard will help her get back home to Kansas and also help her friends Scarecrow, Tinman and the Lion.

In the posthumous 1939 film version, the Slippers were Ruby.In the Wizard of Oz it is not said why she wants the shoes. But in the musical 'Wicked' it is said she wants those slippers because they belonged to her sister Nessarose, (Wicked Witch of the East) and they were all she had to remember her by.

What is a common name for a witch?
Are you perhaps looking for names for characters in a story you intend to write? If anything with "mal" or "mort" in the name might work. If you are however looking to find out if someone is an "evil witch" from their name, I wish you luck... if people had to have names that suited their character then we would have a lot less difficulty choosing our friends.

What was the wicked witch's name in Wicked?
In Wicked there are really not any wicked witches, just misunderstood girls with magical powers. Elphaba is a college student who was born green and was loved by no one. Because of this, she was considered misunderstood. Being misunderstood and unloved gave her a bitter feeling and she became the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch of the East is Elphaba's younger sister who was once paralyzed. Her name is Nessarose. She becomes wicked in an act of selfishness in trying to save her boyfriend from death. None of the typical witches are wicked. The wicked witch of the west is Elphaba is just missunderstood and that's what the whole musical is about. Then there is Nessarose who is Elphaba's sister but she is seen as the wicked witch of the east because she made a selfish descision to keep her love. Then of course there is Glinda, who isn't really Wicked but very selfish sometimes and a little bit self-centered.
How does Dorothy kill the Wicked Witch of the West?
In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch of the West tries to kill Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and their three friends the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman by sending her slaves to kill them all. First, there are wolves, which are followed by crows, bees, enslaved Winkies of the Yellow Winkieland of the West, and Winged Monkeys. Back in her Yellow Castle, the Witch mistreats Dorothy, and trips her. But before Dorothy can be starved or mistreated to death, she throws a fatal bucket of water on the Witch. In the beloved 1939 film version, the Witch tries to kill the five friends when they stop in the deathly poppy field. But Glinda the Good Witch causes it to snow, and thereby keeps the five friends awake and alive. Inside her Castle, the Witch says that Dorothy has only one hour to live. The means of death aren't mentioned. But the Witch causes a fire when she throws the hourglass on the floor. The five friends manage to escape, only to be cornered by the Witch and her torch-lighted broom. The Scarecrow briefly catches fire. But Dorothy throws a fatal bucket of water on the Witch before any further murderous intents can be carried out.
