There really is a Mormon
Just did a deep dive into the Bible, several versions (King James, etc.). No "Mormon" shows up anywhere in the text of the Old or New Testaments.
"Mormon" only shows up in the Book of Mormon, which most Christians do not accept as doctrine.
Through a peculiar turn of events, the nickname for members of Church which is widely used today is “Mormons,”
Because this was the term that Mormons themselves used to refer to themselves for over a century, see for example the (fka) Mormon Choir, the Mormon College, etc. It is only very recently that they began shifting their own self-identification away from the use of Mormon.
