Does anyone know where this idea comes from?

Joseph Smith said it first, it was published in the newspaper "The Times and Seasons".

Yeah, just like "god" means "good."
Only it doesn't.

Someone told him that "mon" translates to english as good. I've heard this before.

Re: GBH said Mormon means "more good"?

And just why would a Nephite c. 310 CE/AD have an element from *English* in his name?

Fun alternative fact: According to Mormon 1:5, his dad's name was also Mormon. So he's technically Mormon Jr.

All this time, Smith Jr's fanfiction should have been called the Book of Mormon Jr.

He should have called it Book of Mormon Junior. He put his junior prominently here.

The original WITNESS STATEMENT (8) SAID THAT JOE WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE BoM!

When was it changed?

NO ONE KNOWS!
