The names of the Jesus's / Yeshua's (Greek Origin / Hebrew origin) apostles are of Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew origins. The names of the apostles need to include all variants and origins of the names. For instance, there is no such letter for J in Hebrew or Aramaic. In no particular order, both Western interpretation and Hebrew / Aramaic name origins that would have been used at that time:

1. Simon = Shim'on (Hebrew origin).

2. John = Y'hochanan (Hebrew origin).

3. Matthew = Mattithyahu (Hebrew origin).

4. James = Ya'akov (Hebrew origin meaning Jacob).

5. Jude = Yehuda / Thaddeus

6. Judas Iscariot = Yehuda (Meaning "I will Praise", Betrayed Jesus***. Hebrew origin. Not to be confused with Yehuda ben Ya'akov / Jacob's son Judah).

7. Peter = Cephas / Kephas (Hebrew / Aramaic origin meaning "Rock").

8. Bartholomew = Bar-Tôlmay (Aramaic origin).

9. Thomas = Tau'ma (Aramaic origin).

10. James the Lessor = Ya'akov(Hebrew origin meaning Jacob).

11. Andrew = Andrew (Greek origin. Is the brother of Cephas / Kephas).

12. Phillip = Phillip (Greek origin)

Additional Answer:

The twelve disciples, or apostles, are named in three of the four Gospels, with only the Gospel of John not giving a specific order to them. They are as follows: Simon Peter, also called Cephas; Andrew, Peter's brother; James, one of the sons of Zebedee; John, the brother of James and a son of Zebedee; Philip; Bartholomew, also called Nathanael; Thomas, also called Didymus, and known to Christian tradition as 'Doubting Thomas'; Matthew the tax collector, also known as Levi- Perhaps in an effort to shed his past life; James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, son of James, and not Iscariot; Simon the Cananean, known as a Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon Iscariot.
