Mormon

Etymology
From the title of the chief work of Joseph Smith the Book of Mormon. Followers of his religious movement were called this since the 1830s. The title of the book comes from the name from the prophet who they believe compiled it, called Moroni, and/or the mentioned in it.

Some have suggested that name of Moroni was a play by the 14-year-old Joseph Smith on the word moron, but that term was not used before 1910. Other implausible etymologies have been proposed, usually in attempts to discredit or defend the Mormon faith.
