Witch Name Generator

Witches and their names

“I put a spell on you” isn’t just from a song. If you're not careful, a witch (or warlock, if the wielder of this “low” ceremonial magic is male) may throw a wrench in your hero's best-laid plans with a well-placed spell, curse, or other nefarious magic.

Unlike a wizard, a witch isn’t here to help the good guys win. From sorceresses like Circe of Greek myth to Enchantress from Marvel comics, witches can be fearsome opponents, especially when you encounter them in either video or tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons.

What’s in a witch’s name

Like mages, witch names tend to be mysterious mononyms—it’s as if adopting magic drops you from much of your family history. Witches also earn epithets and nicknames, like the “Wicked Witch” from The Wizard of Oz or the “White Witch” from DC Comics.

Witch names: Decoded

Witch names are often compound or multi-syllabic, almost like the name is itself a spell. Broom-Hilda, the famous witch from cartoonist Russell Myers, combines Germanic name origins with a common witch’s tool, the broom.
