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.
