The names of the two thieves are not known, since thousands of people were crucified during that time period. Most of the time, the Romans did not record whom they crucified unless it was a crime against the state or against one of the rulers. The two thieves certainly wouldn't have been important enough to warrant an historical record of themselves.
None of the gospel accounts provide the names of the two thieves.
Their names are Dismas and Gestas according to the Gospel of Nicodemas. Dismas, on the right who would meet Y'shua in paradise, and Gestas on the left, who did not believe.
They are normally referred two not by name but as a character these characters are the Penitent Thief or The Good Thief and the Impenitent Thief who did not ask Jesus To remember him. Read more on this on the wiki page in the related links.
The penitent thief is known as St. Desmis.
According to The Holy Bible, they were thieves; no other information is given, except for the fact that only one was penitent!
The names are not found in Scripture. However, tradition gives the names of the two as Dismas (the "good thief") and Gestas, the one who rebuked Jesus. it can be added that Dismas is considered the first saint because Jesus assured him that he would be with him in paradise.
We are not told of the name of the robbers , who were hung on croses on eather side of Jesus Christ. But one thing is clear all though both were condemed for serious crimes, as murder, robberys , high treason against the roman government . But one was saved on the cross and the other was sent to hell.
There are currently no known names of the two men in The Bible. But many people believe that the good man's name was Dismas.
They were both robbers. One of them inherited the Kingdom of Heaven while the other burned in the Lake of Fire
Each of the gospels has a different account of the crucifixion, but all of them report that there were two others crucified with Jesus. Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, while Matthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44: "They cast the same in his teeth.") and John's Gospel simply notes that there were two others crucified with Jesus. In those gospels, there is no penitent thief. However, Luke's Gospel has a penitent thief and an impenitent thief, who are not actually named.
In later centuries, attempts were made to give names to the two thieves of Luke's Gospel. In the Arabic First Infancy Gospel the penitent thief is called Titus and the impenitent thief Dumachus. In Codex Colbertinus the penitent thief is named Zoatham. In the non-canonical Gospel of Nicodemus and from this gospel into Catholic tradition, the the penitent thief is Dismas and the impenitent thief is Gestas.
They two people were accused of stealing. Their names were not mentioned but one recognize Jesus as the Savior.
Titos was the name of the person that was crucified on the right side of Jesus Christ. Titos was a bandit and had a previous encounter with Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesu while they were in exile.

How many people were crucified alongside Jesus?
According the the Christian gospels, two other men were crucified with Jesus. These two men are variously described as thieves, criminals or rebels. Some fundamentalist Christians interpret the Gospels so that there were four men crucified with Jesus because of the different ways in which the men are described and because they take the Bible absolutely literally. So because one gospel says two "criminals" were crucified with Jesus and another says two "thieves" were crucified with Jesus there must have been four. Most people dismiss this and interpret the gospels more sensibly as there being only two other men crucified with Jesus.

What is family background of thieves who were crucified with Jesus?
AnswerThe Bible tells us almost nothing about the two who were crucified with Jesus. John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) tells us that the story purporting to describe the crucifixion of Jesus has been built on narratives from Hebrew scripture, crafted to identify Jesus with messianic images familiar to the readers of the Hebrew scriptures, and designed for liturgical use. He says that there were no thieves crucified with Jesus, penitent or otherwise. So, there is legitimate doubt as to whether there really were two thieves. Either way, we can not say what their family background was.
