Balthazar (also spelled Balthasar, Balthassar, or Baltazar), from Phoenician 𐤓𐤅𐤔𐤅-𐤓𐤀𐤔-𐤕𐤀𐤋𐤀𐤁 Balat-shar-usur, meaning "Baal protects the King" is the name commonly attributed to one of the Three Wise Men, at least in the west. Though no names are given in the Gospel of Matthew, this was one of the names the Western church settled on in the 8th century, based on the original meaning, though other names were used by Eastern churches (for more information see Biblical Magi). It is an alternate form of the Babylonian king Belshazzar, mentioned in the Book of Daniel.
