Another name for a witch

Answer 1

Warlock derives from the Old English wǣrloga meaning "oathbreaker" or "deceiver." It is not a commonly acceptable alternative for the term Witch except in story books. A practitioner of Witchcraft and Magick is known as a Witch regardless of gender. Some may deem themselves simply Pagans, high or low Magickians, Eclectics, or any other term that best describes their respective pathway. In America, Wizard is sometimes also used.

Heathen. Another group of practitioners that sometimes, but not always, call or consider themselves witches.

Practitioner of the Craft. A general term used to describe those who practice Witchcraft and/or Magic.

Priestess/Priest. This applies to most practitioner of many of the Pagan paths. (A High Priestess/Priest is generally the leader of a group of practitioners.)

Wizard (in some cases this is used to describe someone who studies and practices magic outside of a Spiritual path).

Answer 2

A Male Witch is called a Warlock. That's about all I know. *** That is incorrect. A male witch is still called a witch. The word warlock derives itself from Scottish translation which means "oathbreaker". If you call a male witch an oathbreaker he would be pretty po'ed at you.
