来得极快的雷 Thunder at full speed

啴啴焞焞,如霆如雷。

The chariots rumble and roll; like peal after peal of thunder.

诗经 · 采芑 · our translation
霆 is paired with 雷: 雷 is the sound, 霆 the arrival. A name takes the speed and the force, not the noise. 「霆」和「雷」并称:雷是那声巨响,霆是来得极快的那一道。名字用「霆」,取的是速度和威势。
雷霆霆威霆之雷霆子霆霆宇
In a name

霆 is speed: not meant to frighten, but to arrive exactly when it is said to.

「霆」是速度:不是吓人,是「说到就到」。
