Baltasar

According to the Western Church tradition, Baltasar was the King of Arabia or maybe Ethiopia and is mostly depicted as a Middle Eastern or black man in art. Baltasar was a legendary figure and said to be among one of the three Magi that had paid homage to the infant Jesus. Although the name of the three men is not recorded in Bible, they had become known most commonly as Baltasar, Melchior, and Gasper. Myrrh (a bitter-tasting aromatic gum) is said to have been given to Jesus by Baltasar. The three Magi are celebrated as saints and martyrs during the Feast of the Epiphany. The name Baltasar is of German origin and the meaning of Baltasar is 'protected by God'. In Hebrew, the name Baltasar is derived from the name ‘Belshazzar,’ and the Babylonian name is ‘Bel-sarru-user,’ meaning Bel protects the king. The Babylonian King Belshazzar is referred to by this alternative name in the Book of Daniel. He was among one the three wise men. The popular variants of Baltasar are Balthasar, Baldassarre, Balthazar, and so on. Some notable fictional associations of the name are four Shakespeare characters, that is, a merchant in ‘The Comedy Of Errors’, a musician in ‘Much Ado About Nothing', and servants in ‘The Merchant Of Venice’ and ‘Romeo And Juliet’. Among some notable bearers of the name are Baltasar Gracian (Spanish writer), and Baltasar Bekker (Dutch philosopher).

Lucky

Baltasar lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
