Mormon

According to Latter Day Saint belief, Mormon is the name of the compiler of the book of scripture known as the Book of Mormon. Mormon is also a term used to describe people who are adherents, practitioners, followers or constituents of Mormonism. Mormons are a subcategory of Latter Day Saints; the term is most commonly used to refer to members of the Utah-based The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is sometimes colloquially called the Mormon Church. On occasion the term is used more broadly to describe any individual or group that claims belief in the Book of Mormon, including other Latter Day Saint groups.
