Kasper, Balthesar, & Malcior
The names of the three wise men are not mentioned in the Bible. Instead, they are commonly known as Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar in Western tradition. These names were introduced in the 6th century by a Greek manuscript called Excerpta Latina Barbari.
The names of the wisemen are not mentioned in the bible.
We don't even know for sure that there were three, let alone what their names were, so the "meaning of their names" is, well, meaningless.
The names of the three wise men are not mentioned in the Bible. Traditional names for the wise men are Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, a tradition from Western Christian culture. The story of the Magi visiting Jesus is found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 2, but their names are not given in the biblical text.
were Shadrak Meshak and Abendigo the three wise men?
The names of the wise men who came to Jesus at his birth, including Gasper, are inventions and traditions of man. In the Bible account, there were three wise men that brought those three gifts to Jesus. Their names are not mentioned. You may read the story in Matthew 2.
There weren't necessarily 3 wise men. There were only 3 gifts. There could have been 1 million wise men. No names were given in the bible though. Later traditions give them the names Balthasar, Caspar, and Melchior.
Assuming there were three - and most people only assume there were three because there were three gifts, but there could have been more - tradtion gives them the following names: Balthasar, Melchior, Caspar.
All the bible says that there were three wise men, who gave what is not mentioned or their names either.
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'.)
