Best Answer
The names of the Apostles are of Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew origins. The Hebrew, Aramaic and "Greek" named Apostles were:Shim'on = Simon (Hebrew origin).

Y'hochanan = John (Hebrew origin).

Mattithyahu = Matthew (Hebrew origin).

Ya'aqov = James (Hebrew origin meaning Jacob).

Bar-Tôlmay = Bartholomew (Aramaic, which is related to Hebrew).

Judah = Jude / Saint Jude (not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, Hebrew origin).

Yehuda = Judas Iscariot (Hebrew origin, Betrayed Yeshua/Yehosua the Messiah).

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

Tau'ma = Thomas (Aramaic origin).

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

Phillip = Phillip (Greek origin).

You will note that there are only 11 names, that is because there were 2 Apostles named Ya'aqov (James), which brings the total to 12 apostles.

As far as who was or could be an Apostle (potentially 15 of them), there are debates on this.

What is Jesus Christ's middle name?

Jesus Christ has many names, but none are considered middle names. Officially, Jesus has no middle name as that wasn't a tradition in ancient Hebrew culture. Also, Christ is not Jesus's last name. Christ comes from cross. He died for us on the cross. Hence, Christ, Jesus Christ. No middle name, no last name really. Just our Savior, for the believers and non-believers.

Is the word Jesus Christ a statement or an comment?

It is a statement, sort of: Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Anointed One = Joshua the Messiah. Jesus, originally Joshua in Hebrew, is a name, changed in the Greek New Testament to Jesus because male names in Greek do not end in "a". The English name Joshua is a rendering of the Hebrew language "Yehoshua", meaning "Yahweh is salvation" Christ is the English term for the Greek, Khristós, meaning "the anointed one". It is a translation of the Hebrew, Māšîaḥ, usually transliterated into English as Messiah. The Messiah was the long await one, from the blood-line of King David, who would rescue Israel. In post-biblical usage Christ became a name, one part of the name "Jesus Christ", but originally it was a title (the Messiah) and not a name.
