The Bible doesn't identify the three wise men by name but religious traditions and legends have given them a variety of different names. The Western Christian tradition identifies them as Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar.
The wise men gave gifts to Jesus as a sign of respect and to honor him as a king.
King Herod gave this instructions to the wise men, to go and find the baby and inform him , so he to could worship him.
Matthew 2:1-12 Though it doesn't specify the number of wise men who visited, nor the age of Jesus (it is assumed he was between the ages of newborn to 2 years of age, depending on with whom you speak.) It is assumed from the three gifts, gold, frankinscence and myhrr, that there were three Magi (wise men; magicians?), in later traditions called kings, and even given names. **It should be noted that they first approached Herod, who then ordered the deaths of all infants under the age of three.
