Does Disney own the rights to the more familiar dwarf names?

I know the general tale is old and public domain, but maybe they invented those names?

Yes Disney is the owner of the Dwarf names, they created the names. I believe they also created the variation on the poisoned apple but cannot be certain as in the original tale it is a poisoned comb.

The version I have read (in a fairy tale compendium for my children) features both the comb and the apple.
It is also interesting to read the fate of the queen in:

Make's her fate here look much more civilised!
