thomas - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Thomas
  twin, one of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18, etc.). He was
  also called Didymus (John 11:16; 20:24), which is the Greek
  equivalent of the Hebrew name. All we know regarding him is
  recorded in the fourth Gospel (John 11:15, 16; 14:4, 5; 20:24,
  25, 26-29). From the circumstance that in the lists of the
  apostles he is always mentioned along with Matthew, who was the
  son of Alphaeus (Mark 3:18), and that these two are always
  followed by James, who was also the son of Alphaeus, it has been
  supposed that these three, Matthew, Thomas, and James, were
  brothers.
