A name rooted in a particular kind of magic
A witch character becomes more specific when the magic has a daily practice. Describe what the character makes, studies, repairs, or protects, then add the atmosphere of the place where that work happens.
You can use a personal name, a local nickname, or a professional title. Decide which one the community uses and which name the character chooses for herself.
What to look for
- Begin with the character’s work, not only the costume.
- Compare a familiar name with an earned local nickname.
- Use a place detail that belongs to the story.
Keep invented magical traditions distinct from claims about living religious practices.

A question worth asking
Does a witch name need a dark meaning?+
No. Magic can be practical, caring, mischievous, or unsettling. Let the tone follow the story and the character’s role instead of assuming one personality for every witch.
