Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a witch is witch. The witch entity has a unique set of NBT tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as witch). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {NoAI:1}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {NoAI:1,CustomName:"\"Hilda\""}.

To summon a witch that is named Hilda and has no artificial intelligence:
/summon witch ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Hilda\"", NoAI:1}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=witch value, you can target witchs:
@e[type=witch]
Target Selector Examples
To change the name of the nearest witch to Hilda:
/data merge entity @e[type=witch,limit=1,sort=nearest] {CustomName:"\"Hilda\""}
To kill all witchs:
/kill @e[type=witch]
