Though the wise men or magi were not named in the New Testament - tradition lists them as 3 men corresponding to the 3 gifts mentioned given to the baby Jesus. For those In the Eastern Church (Orthodox), a variety of different names are given for the three. However, in the Western Church (Catholic), the names have been considered to be settled since the 8th century AD as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The names of the Magi were derived from an early 6th century Greek manuscript in Alexandria.
