John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) calls Matthew's story Christian midrash and says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi were not actual people. But if they were actual people, they would have been priests, not kings.

Both of them. The kings are sometimes referred as Wise men.
Their names were Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar - known collectively as The Magi.(Magi is the plural of Magus -meaning 'wise man' from which we get the word 'magician'.)

We Three Kings Of Orient Are
Shepherds saw Him and when He was two or so the wise man or men came to see Him. It says in the beginning of Luke in the Bible
The three kings are the men who have been known to many religions around the world including Christianity and catholic. They were visiters to the baby Jesus upon his birth in Christmas day. The Bible describes these Kings as "wise men" and they were probably men who studied the stars and phrophecy and were able to predict the birth of a new king. The Bible does not say there were 3 kings nor does it name them. It says the Kings or wise men brought 3 expensive gifts. Also, most scholars believe that the wise men did not visit baby Jesus Christ until a year or more later, which means they were not at the manger in Bethlehem. The Bible seems to support this as the wise men are not mentioned in the detailed account of the night Jesus was born, which is in the book of Luke.
