Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Βοανεργές ((R G, so Suidas (ed. Gaisf. 751 a.); but) L T Tr WH Βοανηργές), Boanerges, Hebrew ψΖβΖωΡ αΒΜπΕι i. e. sons of thunder (as Mark himself explains it) (the name given by our Lord to James and John the sons of Zebedee): Mar_3:17; αΐΜ pronounced Boa as Noabhyim for Nebhyim; see Lightfoot Horae Hebrew at the passage; ψΖβΖωΡ, in Psa_55:15 a tumultuous crowd, seems in Syriac to have signified thunder; so that the name Βοανηργές seems to denote fiery and destructive zeal that may be likened to a thunderstorm, and to make reference to the occurrence narrated in Luk_9:54. (Cf. Dr. James Morison's Commentary on Mark, the passage cited; Kautzsch, Gram. d. Biblical-Aram., p. 9.)
