The Qur'an does not name or provide a source for the names of Yusuf's brothers. Historically, Qur'anic exegetes have held that in places where the Qur'an does not speak on a subject, The Bible and earlier traditions may be relied upon. Therefore, we can examine Coptic Bibles, wherein there are names for the all of the sons of Ya'aqub (يعقوب) who are not individually singled out in Qur'an. The sons are named as follows:

Reuben - Ra'ubin (رأوبين)

Levi - Lawi (لاوي)

Simeon - Sham'un (شمعون)

Judah - Yehudha (يهوذا)

Issachar - Yissakar (يساكر)

Zebulun - Zbulun (زبولون)

Dan - Daan (دان)

Naphtali - Naftali (نفتالي)

Gad - Jaad (جاد)

Asher - Ashir (أشير)

Yusuf - Yus'f (يوسف)

Benjamin - Binyamin (بنيامين)

Additionally, Yusuf had two sons who are counted in the Al-Asbatt (الاسباط) or Boni Asra'il (بني اسرائيل) (Levi and Yusuf are themselves not counted which brings the total to twelve.)

Ephraim - (أفرايم)

Manasseh - Mnasse (منسى)

Why were Hazrat Yusaf's brothers forgiven?

Hazrat Yusuf forgave his brothers as this was the right thing to do. Allah would not have liked him to carry spite and malice in his heart. Hazrat Yusuf knew that if he forgave them he would be happier and so would Allah also be happy. If he hadn't forgiven them then he would be carrying around a burden and would seek revenge. This is why forgiveness is encouraged in the wonderful religion of Islam.
