Boanerges

BOANER'GES (bo-a-nur'jez; Gk. from Aram. "Sons of thunder," "noise," regosha, cf. Arab. rejasa, "to rumble"-- thunder).

An epithet used of James and John (Mk 3:17), denoting probably their fiery eloquence (Jerome) or zeal. It may, however, refer to their quick temper and disposition to violence <Luke 9:52-56>.

Compare Aram. riggusha (Syr. regsha, "tumult"; rugza, "anger").
