A disciple is a person who is taught or trained in a particular doctrine. For example you could be a disciple of Freud.
Jesus Christ's disciples were people He taught and trained. Or today a disciple can be someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Additional Comment:
The term 'disciple' means 'to imitate' someone. A disciple of Jesus then would lead a life as much as possible like Jesus did in the Gospel accounts. When fully repentant and baptized, he/she receives the promised Holy Spirit of God, aka of Jesus Christ, to be able to grow and accomplish the works God has laid out for them.

Good answer above but a little extra info :
Some people use only the word "apostle" to refer to the original twelve who you have listed above rather than the word disciples.
some use the phrase "the original twelve disciples", " or "The Twelve".
some people will *not* use the word Disciple to refer to the original twelve and insist upon the use of apostle for the twelve only and all others who follow Christ are called disciples.
