BALTHASAR. A
name invented for one of the three Magi, possibly meaning "Bel's
prince."
... Balthasar may be
an imitation of Daniel's Chaldean name of Belteshazzar (Bel's
prince). Some make it the old Persian Beltshazzar (war council, or
prince of splendour). It is not unlike the Slavonic Beli-tzar, or
White-prince, called at Constantinople Belisarius; but indeed it is
probably a fancy name invented at a period when bad Latin and rude
Teutonic were being mixed up to make modern languages, and the Lingua
Franca of the East was ringing in the ears of pilgrims. However
invented, Balthasar flourished much in Italy, and in the Slavonic
countries, and very nearly came to the crown in Spain. Usage:
English, German. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884).
Also see Gaspar
and Melchior.
