Her name comes from the original author of the Oz series, L. Frank Baum. His initials, if you tried to pronounce them as a word, would sound a bit like Elphaba (LFB).


I like the unintentional irony there. Mr Baum is the "original author" of the Oz series. The current author, presumably, being Time Warner Inc.

Well, considering the liberties taken by some with the ideas later (especially in "Wicked" which completely reversed many basic features of Baum's ideas), citing "original author" may be a useful idea.
