Twenty-four wizard names with the root each one grows from. Pick on meaning rather than sound and the name will do work before your character speaks.
Wizard names lean harder on Latin and Old English than witch names do. The Latin gives you a quality: Rufus for red hair, Severus for sternness, Sylvester for the woods, Octavius for the eighth child.
