Matthew's Gospel refers to magoi or, in Latin, magi (sing: magus), who were priests of the Zoroastrian god, Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord"). 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: at 2:1-12,16.
Actually, the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus is not recorded in Luke's gospel but in the Gospel of Matthew. The story can be found in Matthew 2:1-12. Luke's gospel includes the nativity story, but it focuses more on the shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth.
