For many years a left-handed batsman named Lehmann scored runs in the middle-order at a rapid rate for South Australia.
Now Jake Lehmann, like father Darren, seems set for a long career with the Redbacks if his dashing innings against Queensland on Thursday is any gauge.
The Redbacks, who sit second on the Sheffield Shield ladder, finished day two at Adelaide Oval 222 runs in arrears with five wickets in hand.
But it could have been so much worse but for Lehmann's defiance.
He came to the crease with his side struggling but the 23-year-old, playing in just his fifth first-class match, decided attack was the best form of defence.

By the close of play, Lehmann had reached 92 not out off 81 balls, having brought up his half century off just 33 deliveries.
Earlier, Queensland reached 6-474 before declaring prior to lunch.
"The ball was spinning into me and I thought it was a good opportunity to put the pressure back on them" Lehmann said.
"It has worked for me before, so that was the way I went about it and it came off.
"They had a pretty aggressive field so you only half-to-half hit some and they race away for four.
"We need to push on now. We need to keep putting pressure back on them.
Lehmann has already nabbed a double century for the Redbacks and his latest knock boosted his overnight average to 65.
"It is good to come into the side and perform straight away," Lehmann said.
"That makes me feel comfortable and I guess it is a bit of a self-belief thing."
Wicketkeeper Tim Ludeman offered fine support to Lehmann with a more sedate 26 not out, as the pair shared a much-needed unbeaten 87-run partnership.
Sam Raphael was the only other SA batter to make a significant contribution, making 65 before treading on his stumps to become the maiden first-class wicket for part-timer Charlie Hemphrey.
However, Lehmann was not the only rookie batsman to provide fireworks with Queensland's Jack Wildermuth hitting a maiden century.
The Bulls declared with Wildermuth unbeaten on 100 and Hopes, playing in his 100th Shield match, on 22 as the Bulls cracked 117 runs off just 22 overs.
New Australian Test squad inclusion Chadd Sayers failed to make any impression for the Redbacks, returning 1-111 off 28 overs.
Queensland entered the match in fifth and desperately needing a win to stay in touch with the leading pack.
