77 Best Witch Names For Girls

Whether you're looking for unique baby names or a fitting name for your new black cat, witchy names are bound to add a spark of magic to the new person (or animal) in your life.

Because there’s a reason witches are the most common costume people don on the spookiest night of the year. Not only that, but witchcraft is having a revival in popularity.

Witchcraft has evolved from its medieval healer days into complete global brands, as modern “witches” and social media popularize various spiritual practices, like the use of crystals. It can even be considered mainstream now.

From the Salem witch trials where we burned countless witches at the stake, to modern day teenagers declaring themselves witches on TikTok and being praised for it, it’s crazy how societal norms can change and grow.

Movies and TV shows like "Harry Potter," "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," "The Blair Witch Project," among many others, have made witchcraft and wizardry fascinating.

So why not name your baby girl after a powerful creature of magic and wisdom?
