L. Frank Baum was the name of the author of "The Wizard of Oz," which Gregory Maguire based "Wicked" off of.
Since the book and musical are loosly based off of his noval and film, she is named after him. If you sound out the first letter of his first, last, and middle name, you get elphaba. LFB El-Fa-Ba.
Hope this helps.

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.
