Only the fourth horseman is in fact given a name in Revelations. "Its rider was named Death." The Greek Word that is translated as Death is Thanatos. No other names are given and therefore the Greek words can not be supplied.

The other horseman are named in popular culture by their actions. These are Conquest which represents idelogical dominace which has spread like a plauge upon the earth, War and Famine (Austerity is probably the better word because it is famine that only affects the poor). As they are given the power to destroy by sword, famine, plague and the beasts a another naming convention is sometimes used. Probably the most popular naming is from Durer's painting where they are decipeted as being Death, Famine, War, and Plague.
