Zelena, Alice/Robin, Anastasia, Evil Queen (Serum), Maleficent, Lily, maybe Elsa/Ursula Nowhere on the show was the the term Witche said to be exclusive to females. Witch can be gender neutral or Female related. Simply depends on the source.

For me Witch refers to someone with Magic. You can use any term such as Sorcerers/Sorceresses/Wizard/Magic user/Magi/Mage/etc.
