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.
The three wise men from the nursery rhyme are typically named as Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar.
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.

The Bible does not tell us their names. Nor does it say they were kings; we simply assume that they were of noble birth if they were trained as astrologers. The Bible does not even tell us that there were three of them - it only states three examples of the gifts. You can read the story in Matthew 2:1-12.
