The Geneva Bible states matter-of-factly in the note to Proverbs 31:1

"That is, of Solomon, who was called Lemuel, that is, of God,
because God had ordained him to be king over Israel."
 
Well, of course, the answer is "maybe". :)

It makes sense, I suppose. I just wouldn't take a position based on the translator's notes of men who lived 400+ years ago.
 
Lemuel was not an Israelite king. The nature of this section (vv1-9) suggests an Egyptian or perhaps a Babylonian origin.
