"James" the son of Zebedee and "John" the brother of James ( he also gave these the surname Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder), Mark 3:17
Sons of Thunder ...An Aramaic expression found, with its translation, only at Mark 3:17. Jesus gave it as a surname to James and John likely reflecting the fiery enthusiasm of these two apostles. (Luke 9:54) Unlike Simon's new name Peter, Boanerges does not appear to have been commonly used.

Jesus called the brothers John and James the "Sons of Thunder" because they wanted to call down thunder on a town that rejected their message.

Actually it was "Sons of thunder" & refers to James & John, the sons of Zebedee.
