The Three Wise Men (which are also known under other names: the Kings, the Magi, are not mentioned by their names in the Bible actually.

However, traditionally it is assumed that their names are:Melchior, Caspar (or Gaspar) and Balthazar

Sometimes Christians write on their doors: C+M+B and the year to memorize this.
