The English name Wise is a nickname for a wise person, or in some cases a name for someone suspected of being acquainted with the occult arts, from Middle English wise 'wise' (Old English wis).

What group of priests were the 3 wise men from?
The 3 Wise Men are considered to have been Magi - a tribe from Iran which served the people of their region. They later merged into the Zoroastrian religion.
Were the wise men in the Bible really just astrologers?
AnswerIn the original Greek, Matthew called the wise men magoi(Latin: magi, sing:magus). The Magi were a West Iranian tribe who provided the priests for the Zoroastrian religion. The Iranians (Persians) worshipped Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord") and were renowned throughout the Near East for their wisdom and learning, including the art of astrology. But, of course, they were much more than astrologers. Matthew, by having the priests come to worship Jesus, wanted to show that even the priests of this great religion looked up to Jesus. In more recent times, the Zoroastrian connection became less important, and the priests began to be called wise men.

What is the name of the women who forgot to go with the wise men?
AnswerThat is an interesting question. Matthew originally called the visitors magi, not "wise men", and the magi were priests of the god Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord" - hence "wise men").Bishop Spong says that among the people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi were not actual people. Matthew was clearly writing Christian midrash, but he made no reference to missing women. I know of no Christian tradition or legend that women were supposed to accompany the priests.
How did the wise men know in which town they would find baby Jesus?

Who does Matthew say brought gifts for Jesus?
AnswerMatthew wrote that magoi or, in Latin, magi (sing: magus) brought gifts for the baby Jesus. The magoi were priests of the Zoroastrian god, Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord"). Matthew was portraying the priests of this great religion as regarding the birth of a Jewish Messiah as a momentous event. By having them wish to worship him, Matthew was probably demonstrating that Jesus had dominion over even the Zoroastrians. In later centuries, the Zoroastrian connection became less important and the term "wise men" tends to be used in English translations. Today, the "wise men" are often replaced by 'kings', but the original text says that they were magoi - priests.
What is another word for the wise men?
A:The author of Matthew's Gospel did not actually refer to 'wise men'. He called them magoi in the original Greek text of the Gospel, which translates to 'magi' in Latin and English. The magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion practised in the regions of modern Iran and Iraq. The author of Matthew's Gospel was simply seeking to show that even the priests of this great religion would want to come and worship Jesus.
Were the wise men wise?
One viewIn a literal sense, the "Three Wise Men" are stars in Orion's Belt which appear to "follow" the sun. On December 24th, they line up with Sirius (aka the Star in the East), and point to the sun rise on December 25th. Thus it was deduced that at Christmas, the Three Wise Men followed the Star in the East to where the Sun/Son rose.The Christian story is based on this astronomical observation, but I'm not sure what the personified "Three Wise Men" actually do in the bible or why those people are wise, nor if the authors felt the need to go into such detail.Another viewThe Bible says the '3 wise men' were men from the east, not stars in the sky. They were philosophers / priests. The Greek word is magos - a sorcerer, wise man.It was the star in the East that somehow made them aware of the birth of a king, whom they came to worship. Possibly they were familiar with OT prophecies concerning the Messiah's arrival.They were wise because they recognised the sign (a star) and acted.They were astrologers, which required a type of education, and therefore, they were considered wise.
Which of the wise men was king of Arabia?
AnswerMatthew's Gospel, in the original Greek, spoke of magoi(Latin: magi, sing: magus) following a star to the house where Jesus lay. Magi were the priests of the Persian religion, Zoroastrianism. Matthew, by having the priests come to worship Jesus, wanted to show that even the priests of this great religion looked up to Jesus. In more recent times, the Zoroastrian connection became less important, and the priests began to be called wise men or just kings. But it is important to remember that to Matthew the magi were priests, not kings. None of them could be called the king of Arabia. Confirming that none of the magi could have been a king of Arabia is the widespread scholarly view that Matthew's wise men did not really exist. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among people he knows in NT circles, the universal assumption is that the magi were not actual people. Matthew was clearly writing Christian midrash.
What was the occupation of the Wise men?
Since Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek, we should look at the original Greek version in order to undestand the author's intentions. The word used in Greek is magoi (Latin: magi). The magi were well known in the ancient Near East as the tribe that provided the priests for the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians. The author of Matthew knew that the Zoroastrians expected that one day the Saoshyant would return, born of a virgin. By having the magi come to worship the baby Jesus, the author was tying the virgin birth of Jesus into the virgin birth of the Saoshyant and telling his readers that even the priests of this great religion would want to worship Jesus. As the Zoroastrian relationship became less important in later Christianity, the word was generally translated into other languages as 'wise men'.The Gospel does not actually say how many 'wise men' came, but it does say that they were Zoroastrian priests.
