About witch names

Plants, birds and places

Folklore witches are often named after what they know or where they live. Poisonous and healing plants (nightshade, wormwood, foxglove), birds (raven, from the Latin corvus) and wild places all appear in our epithets.

Hags in D&D

Green, sea and night hags gather in covens of three. Generate three names that share an epithet theme and you have a coven.
