"James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder)"
This name was given to them by Jesus when they became two of the 12 disciples. Mark 3:13-19

To James and his brother, Jesus gave the surname Boanerges, a Semitic term meaning “Sons of Thunder.” (Mr 3:17) This may have been because of the energetic, fiery, and enthusiastic nature of these men. On one occasion, for example, when certain Samaritans were inhospitable toward Jesus, James and John wanted to call down fire from heaven to annihilate them. Although reproved by Jesus for suggesting such revenge, this attitude was indicative of their righteous indignation and also of their faith. (Lu 9:51-55) They also entertained ambitions of having the most prominent positions in the Kingdom, at the right and left hands of Jesus, and they apparently got their mother (possibly Jesus’ aunt) to request such favors of him. After explaining that such decisions were made by the Father, Jesus took the occasion to point out that “whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.”

The pair who's mother asked if they could sit on the right and left of Jesus when he came into his kingdome... gotta love a mother.

Dear PACIFIC,
That would be James and John-they were brothers.
