The reason the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are called Mormons is that Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, received a revelation from the prophet Mormon who gave him the writings called the "Book of Mormon."

As God chose prophets to teach his people in Jerusalem and they recorded their teaching in what is now known as the Bible, God also chose prophets to reveal his truths in the Americas.

These prophets also recorded the revelations and teaching from God in a record which was translated and later called the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon was named after the prophet Mormon who cared for the ancient records and hid them until their location was revealed to the prophet Joseph Smith.

Joseph Smith translated the records (Book of Mormon) and they are a second testament of Jesus Christ revealed through prophets in the Americas.

The Book of Mormon is the corner stone of the LDS church and for this reason, many refer to members of the LDS church as Mormons.
