Those titles were added centuries later by church scribes and are not part of the inspired text, so they really don't mean anything. However, within the traditions the scribes were using, John son of Zebedee bore both titles.

Tradition is that John was the writer of all the books attributed to him. John has been given various titles in Scripture but they are all the same person
