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)
