    One of the 3 Magi. But, the Bible never says how many there were. Three is an assumption because of the 3 birthday presents presented to the Baby Yah'shua.

    It's a name traditionally given to one of the "magi" or "wise men" mentioned in the gospels, also known as the "Three Kings" (though no biblical account calls them kings or says how many there were). The name itself does not occur in the gospels; it has been traditional since about the 6th century CE, along with Balthazar and Caspar.
