I'm not sure there is a male version of a nun, though I suppose monk is close.

As for witch - magician, warlock, wizard, sorcerer. Lots more names for the male version of this one.

"Monk" is indeed essentially the male equivalent of "nun." Monks are generally addressed as "Brother" and nuns as "Sister" of course.

There sometimes seems to be a misconception than nuns are the female equivalent of priests. Not so.

And in the Roman Catholic Church, priests have no female equivalent.
