Lol.

You got that from Catholic LEGEND. Their names were not known. It isn't even FACT that there were three.
The Catholic Church decided that THREE was appropriate because there were three gifts.

Also, descriptions of their race were unknown as well. All Catholic legend. Nice that you embrace it, though, very sweet.

Legends aren't dogma, however. But you know that.
