No, the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel are on the Gates. The 12 Apostle's names are on the foundations of the wall of the city:
Revelation 21:12-14New International Version (NIV)12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
In Scripture, the number 12 represents 'organizational beginnings.'
No. The name "12 Apostles" collectively covers the numerous sandstone formations within the Twelve Apostles National Park along the Victorian coastline. There are more than twelve such formations (despite several of them collapsing in recent years), and only a few are named. London Bridge, for example, was the name of one which collapsed.
The number 12 signifies a divinely constituted organization either in the heavens or on the earth: * Revelation 12:1--And a great sign was seen in heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon was beneath her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.* Revelation 21:12--It had a great and lofty wall and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names were inscribed which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. * Revelation 22:2--...down the middle of its broad way. And on this side of the river and on that side [there were] trees of life producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding their fruits each month. And the leaves of the trees [were] for the curing of the nations.

Yes there are 12: " These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon ( who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him." (Matthew 10:2-4 NIV)
the "gates of heaven" is a common expression. These are spiritual gates.Another Answer:Twelve gates are in the New Testament Book of Revelation, chapter 21 describes a 'new' Jerusalem coming to a new Earth where God will dwell with His new family of billions of sons and daughters:Revelation 21:12-14New International Version (NIV) 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
People frequently mention that St. Peter is the gatekeeper.However, the Bible never mentions a gatekeep of heaven, by name. In Revelation 21:12 it says "It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel."In the New Testament Our Lord tells Peter, "And I will give to you the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound also in Heaven. Whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed also in Heaven."
Each of the twelve gates will be the name of one of the tribes of Israel with the 12 foundational walls having the name of one of the 12 Apostles:Revelation 21:12New King James Version (NKJV) 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:Revelation 21:21New King James Version (NKJV) 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
There are various interpretations and beliefs across different religions and cultures about how many gates or doors Heaven may have. In Christianity, the Bible mentions the "pearly gates" in the Book of Revelation, but it does not specify a specific number. In Islam, it is believed that Heaven has eight gates. Ultimately, the exact number of gates or doors to Heaven is not explicitly defined in a universal or literal sense.
Matthew 10:2 is the beginning of the list of the names of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
