The Bible doesn't actually give them names. Since they travelled from the east, from the time they first saw the star, it took them a while. It might not have been only three men either. Because three kinds of gifts were brought, many people assume there were three men. Three men, travelling alone for any distance would be wide open for attack by thieves who attacked small groups on the desert. They would have travelled with a large caravan, getting protection from the large number of people around them. They might have even been their own caravan, since the number of them were never mentioned. Read Matthew 2:1-12 to find out for yourself. <*)))><

The Bible doesn't mention any names. Their names were invented when the Spaniards conquered the Aztec people in the sixteenth century. They called them Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar. The Bible doesn't mention the horse, the elephant and the camel they supposedly rode either.
