In the novel and the play 'Wicked', Galinda changed her name to Glinda. She went through the name change out of respect for the memory of Dr. Dillamond of Shiz University. That university was Galinda's alma mater. The doctor was one of Galinda's teachers, and a highly respected faculty member as a sentient Animal. His brutal murder shocked many of his current and former students. Galinda wanted to honor his memory by changing her name to the way that he always - in sentient Goat fashion - mispronounced it.
She changed it to impress her boyfriend Fyero.Who at this point was acting strange due to ( what glinda didnt know) hes love for Elphaba.
