Actually, no one really knows their names. The Christmas tradition that there were three of them arose from the fact that there were three gifts (Matthew 2:11), but is without support in Scripture.

A worthless, but interesting legend of the 11th century gives their names as Gaspar (Gash'-par), Balthasar (Ball'-te-tsar), and Melchior (Mel'-key-or). The unfounded idea that they were kings is interpreted from Isaiah 60:3.
