The three wise men from the Bible who visited Jesus were kings. Their nakes are not mentioned in the bible but they have traditionally been referred to as Gaspar, Balthasar, and Melchior.
ADDITIONALLY:
Nor does the Bible say that there were "three" of them. The number "three" was probably assigned to them, traditionally by Catholicism, because "three GIFTS" are mentioned in their visitation account to the "house" of Jesus' parents [which would have been in Nazareth, not Bethlehem] as many as two years or so after His birth:
"When they entered the house, they saw the child with Mary, His mother, and prostrated themselves and worshiped Him, and opening their treasure-chests they gave Him gifts; goldand frankincense and myrrh." (Matt.2:11 MNTMontgomery New Testament)
These "gifts" were evidently acceptable ones "fit for a King"... but that isn't to say that more than one magi couldn't have duplicated on their choices of gift for Him.
But the biblical fact of the matter is that the inspired Scriptures don't give the number of magi that came to see the King. And they surely don't name them.

The three wise men from The Bible are also known as the Magi. According to the Gospel of Matthew, they visited baby Jesus after following a star to Bethlehem, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their visit is commemorated as the Feast of Epiphany in Christian tradition.

What are the names of the three wise men that came to see the baby Jesus?
The "answer" later, first a few points a) the Bible just calls them "wise men" - not "kings". b) the Bible does not say there were three. That is a conjecture based on there being three gifts - gold frankincense and myrrh c) the Bible does not name them. But, tradition in Christianity says they were Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.
According to the bible how many wise men are there?
no one really knows how many wise men there were, most people think there were 3, but the Bible says that "the wise men then brought 3 gifts of frankinsence, gold, and myrr." the Bible says that they brought 3 gifts, so in theory, it makes it sound like there were 3 wise men, but there could have been just 1, mabe 2, mabe 100, no one knows. people also think that the wise men came to visit Jesus on the night that he was born, but this is not true, the Bible says that the wise men came to visit him when he was at least a month old or a year old. and if you dont believe what im saying now, you can just go and read your Bible, cause EVERYBODY knows that the Bible is pure truth. ;)
