Traditions identify a variety of different names for the Magi. In the Western Christian church they have been commonly known since the 8th Century as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. Caspar is also known as Gaspar or Jaspar.

The Syrian Christians name the Magi Larvandad, Gushnasaph and Hormisdasi. In the Eastern Churches - Ethiopian Christianity - they are named Hor, Karsudan and Basanater, while the Armenians have Kagpha, Badadakharida and Badadilma.
