Answer 1

Lame.

Answer 2

You can't really be serious.  

Answer 3

All though I like your assumption better here is what wiki says.

The term "Mormon" has its origins in the Book of Mormon, which is believed by Latter Day Saints to be a historical and religious record translated by Joseph Smith, Jr. into English by divine inspiration from golden plates that he received from the Angel Moroni in 1827. The book relates a history of three civilizations in the Americas from approximately 2700 BC through 420 AD, written by their prophets and followers of Jesus Christ. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is another scriptural witness of Jesus Christ that is comparable to the Bible, which they also believe to be the word of God.[1] The book gets its name from Mormon, the prophet said to have abridged the record during the 4th century.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, one of the earliest published usages of the term "Mormon" to describe believers in the Book of Mormon was in 1833 by the Louisville (Kentucky) Daily Herald in an article, "The Mormons and the Anti-Mormons".[

You honestly need a better education. Piligamy has been around way before Mormons.

I think it has something to do with there scriptures. Read the Latter Day Saints book.

If you are serious then no. Mormon is the name of the author of the gold tablets Joseph Smith found the Book of Mormon is based on.

Answer 17

Nah, one of the prophets was called Mormon,  and if I recall correctly it was his son the angel Moroni who led Joseph Smith to the golden plates.
